Hello,

I observed this Conopidae on the 1st of July in the north of France. I think of a Sicus ferrugineus, what do you think ?

Cordially maxime

although ferrugineus is the most plausible species: how can you exclude the other Sicus species from this picture?

Hi Jürgen, it's not possible to exclude the others (exept perhaps nigritarsis), if one cannot check the theca. But ferrugineus is very common...
