I saw someone harvesting fennel stalks at the beginning of May. I thought that was a bit late; though the stalks were still more or less green the flower heads had dried completely and there was little green growth. Is there a culinary expert who can say when fennel is at its best?

Laeviscolia frontalis has yellow on the vertex in females & yellow on the pronotum in males & this specimen appears to have neither, so I’m thinking it’s likely to be Australelis anthracina😊
