Thanks Misha, what a pity.

And I'm in the north-east corner of Spain...

Then? I let it as E. caniola or E. uniola? Lateral view helps?

Thanks a lot Misha and Guy! I had the precaution of take a lateral shot and I not deleted it from my camera card. Here is it: http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/1191/eilemasp2.jpg Unfortunately I don't remember size. It's "normal", of the size of E. lurideola. Maybe closer to the 18-25 mm th...

This one was found about a month ago in Peñaflor, Zaragoza, NE Spain. At 300 meters over sea in a Phragmites australis patch, surrounded by arid steppe-lands. What species could be?



Thanks,
Isidro

Semiothissa clathrata and Vanessa cardui.

Anthocharis cardamines and Pararge aegeria f. tircis.

It's a female. Apart from the lack of violet shin, the wings are more broad in the female.

The only Apatura iris that I saw in my life, was also a female... How I wish go back in my life for find it, but with camera this time!

My garden in Spain is not easy to keep. The climate is a little terrible here: frost in winter, extremely warm in summer (40º all summers, sometimes more), very dry, with water concentrated in storms in spring and summer, and strong wind. And more important that these conditions is that is a garden ...

I make a research with your great help. If this page is good, maybe there is a type of sexual dimorphism in Adela reaumurella, being the males hairy, with black hairs and longer antennae and females with no hair and metallic head and body and shorter antennae. http://www.papillon-poitou-charentes.or...

Giant thanks JKT!!!

I think that c) don't fits well with Adela reaumurella. The wings are similar but the head and body is much less hairy and more metallic!It don't can be something like Nemophora metallica or similar?

It looks almost identical!
I hope that somebody could identify it for both us!

Thanks JKT, that is true.. The shame is that aren't experts and much less local ones!
I know a lepidopterologist in my own region very knowlegdeable in micro-moths, but he's always very busy and I can't ask him!

Nobody more??? Please!!!! The other two???

Hipparchia semele.

Lasiocampa quercus.

Leucistic Melanargia galathea.

Syrphidae.

Thanks for that info Guy

Thanks a lot Matsukaze, I have already two (more or less) identified! Now I only let the other two! I put here the list of all Adelidae recorded from Iberian Peninsula. Maybe that helps: Adela australis Adela collicolella Adela croesella Adela cuprella Adela homalella Adela mazzolella Adela panthere...

Actually the species is Escallonia rubra, being macrantha only a variety. This chilean shrub have a rich floration but the one of my garden don't attract almost anything.
