Chrysis coeruleiventris

Postby briang » 13 Aug 2022 18:42

28 May, N Apennines (PC), Italy. I am pretty sure this is Chrysis coeruleiventris, on Thymus. Unfortunately seen during a moment of dark cloud cover so the photo is not very flattering. I’m posting mainly because Paolo was interested in the species and this was seen at a different location than the ones posted last year. But not very different: only about 2.7 km away along a wooded ridge, in a similar quite open south-facing sunny and sandy slope. Unfortunately none was seen at the original locality this year, the site has suffered from passage of tractors and also had virtually none of the usual food plants, the extreme dryness has also been problematic I think.
I have some questions about other species but with quite poor photos, so may wait a while!
