Hello mwkozlowski & komarik,

Both your photo's show the species Desmometopa microps. New for the fauna of Poland and Russia.
Also new is the spectacular behaviour observed and photographed. This has not been reported in any other species of Desmometopa to date.
Could I use your photo's in a publication I am writing together with Irina Brake?

Kind regards,

Ectemnius
