Hello,

This picture : http://www.flored...pnum=33549
Click on the picture to view full size.

has been taken on july 24th 2007, in Switzerland (near Bellwald Gefernseeregion) In a clearing in a mainly coniferous forest. Altitude 1400 meters. Sunny place, many flowers, lots of insects.
Size about 12mm. Standing on dead wood.
Sorry no other pics: the animal took off just after this one.
I know this family is quite complex, but who knows: maybe this pic shows enough to put a name on it ?

My investigations so far point to Andrenosoma, maybe A atra.

Can anybody confirm (or not)
Thanks a lot.
