Hello,

I know there were some records here in Germany since 2002 (although faunaeur.org still lists it as 'doubtful'), but I did not expect to find it here in the northwest. But today I saw this 7 mm male here in our courtyard on Eupatorium cannabinum. ID seems to be clear, but because it is so new for me, confirmation would be fine, thanks!
