Hi Paolo,
I should visit south Europe in autumn...
Kunz noticed June-August for flying and I understood that he meant the beginning of August cause when a species is listed till the end of the month, he wrote it down. Linsenmayer also noticed June- August.
In the Rhine-area, where I know a few places for them, I saw them til the End of July.
And at that time I got only females. But, of course, it can be that they stay longer.
In every location I saw them flying together with C. fulgida. Both I saw yesterday the last time. With fulgida the same: only females at this moment. For fulgida Kuntz noticed June- Mid of August, what fits with my latest dates. Maybe the warming-up of the earth allows them a longer period step by step.
Best regards Paul
