Hi at all!

First of all I want to thank all of you who show their finds here and also to all who determinate the shown species. Til now I've learnt a lot!
I'm watching this forum since about three years and now I try to make the first step not only to consume..
The first pictures I want to share with you were taken of a species who starteds the season in April this year. Normally in our region (South Germany) you can see trimaculata in March, but this season came very late. C. trimaculta is a quick species and I needed to study their habit for getting reasonable picture. When they are sitting on flowers later in the season it's a little bit easier. But I had to figure out where they sleep (snail shells) and wait til the go to bed. Before that they clean themselves properly an.. that's my chance...sometimes...

Best regards Paul

Great photos, Paul. You have studied the behaviour of the species in the right way in order to get close to it.
Welcome to our board!
