    It seems my window on the 7th floor is a bug trap! This guy is an invasive species in Europe, first recorded only 15 years ago from northern Italy. In the years to follow recorded from France, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Slovakia and other Central European countries. In 2007 from northern Balkans, in 2012 from Turkey. Now from Bulgaria. @WildFlower captured one in April 2013, most probably in Bulgaria. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
