Hi All,
I am a new of this forum. My name is Lukas Fiala. And I started collected and study of Chrysididae before few year ago. I am not a great specialist but I am learning and trying to understand this group.
Here is my the firt topic and it is Spinolia unicolor from Czech republic, South Moravia near Znojmo.
It is a very impressive northern species.
This species I have been following for several years. My information are that South Moravia is the southernmost expansion this species. I was study this specis more more free time and it Is very specific.
The species was observed in June, July and August. In all this time was his aktivity very specific. All this months are warm. And it was very good to see how great the heat of this kind really bothers and does not suit...All the best temperature for this species was about 20-27C... In these temperature was high activity. The best of time for this species in these months was 9-11 hours. If was cloudy and not more warm weather his activity was all days. The most exepmlare was finding on the big stone, something on the ground, on flying and only 4 exemplare was siting on the flowers.
Thank you and all the best,
Lukas
