BrunoKneubühler Thanks for the ID correction, It seams that Agathemera luteola is the only Agathemera in the region I fond it. So thanks again!.

definitly not Agathemera crassa ! Might be a subspecies of Agathemera luteola.

From what I can gather that looks like smaller males mating with much larger females. And yes, Peter is right, it's insane looking.
