Coenosia yes, tigrina no. It reminds me of the C. albicornis I find here, but there are other very similar species and you need to be able to see a lot of details to get beyond Coenosia sp. ;)

Will a Coenosia cf albicornis do and as detail that it is not a C. tigrina...?

I think I'd stick to Coenosia sp. unless Stephane or Nikita say otherwise ;)

Definitely not C. tigrina (which has largely black femora, and long ad/av almost at same level on hind tibia (=s.g. Caricea).
This could be a female infantula/testacea (impossible to see whether it has only one proepisternal or two).

OK, you win.... a Coenosia spec. allright!! :)
Thank you for your reactions!
I'm sorry I have no other position.
It sits on the edge of my pool, almost every day I see one, in due time I will upload it too, maybe they are the same.

Regards,
Hedy
