Heterogaster canariensis

Another "pool guest" - shamefully presented with this "working shot" as I mistook it for "yet another Nysius" at the time of the photo shoot and didn't take care of getting better pictures :-/

  Thanks Ferdy, I had a few others on an old leaf, but the lighting and focus was much less (wouldn't sit still) Posted 5 years ago

  Yes, most definitely! The whole island was much dryer and hotter than last time (march 2019) and we only found _very_ limited insect-life on all the (suffering) vegetation(!) The pool compensated for that nicely :o) Posted 5 years ago
