Metalimnobia cf zetterstedti The identification is a bit questionable. The photo was taken on 21 April in Sakar Mountain. I believe this is Limoniid, Metalimnobia zetterstedti. I could not find more specific information, except that 2 species have been recorded in Bulgaria - this one and M.bifasciata. But based on the appearance, wings pattern and leg coloration, I believe this is the species. I am not in a position for a more thorough laboratory study of the specimen.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/148808/metalimnobia_cf_zetterstedti.html" title="Metalimnobia cf zetterstedti"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/1332/148808_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=REFeoxZLLJHKKv5DpBfQO6M3wZk%3D" width="200" height="140" alt="Metalimnobia cf zetterstedti The identification is a bit questionable.
