Found on parsley on the kitchen table. Could not get good shots of the wing venation, but a striking feature are the broadened palps. They don't appear so wide from the side, but on the last shot from dorsal, although not in focus, one can get an impression. Maybe a Lispe?

Lispe?

Yes, my thought was Lispe tentaculata, but I would be interested to know how common the enlarged palps are in the genus (in middle europe) - I found additionally L. orientalis (not in region), loewi and consanguinea with that feature.
