Microvelia reticulata ♀
To be honest I still have some doubts on my determination of this Microvelia
specimen, because on M. reticulata the red collar behind the head should be
interrupted in the middle - and it is, but not convincing. The most important thing: the
prontom should be round and not curved in, and this specimen has that, but again: not
convincing enough. Then the connexivum of the females of M. reticulata should be
broad, and even that is not very clear with this bug. But you may judge yourself with the
pictures here.
