 Good day!
I have a Muscina here, and it would be great, if someone could tell the species! Could this be Muscina prolapsa?
Found in Austria, Linz on 10.03.2026.
Thanks and all the best!

 If an animal looks like a dog, barks like a dog, it is a dog.
If ... ... ... ... it is Muscina prolapsa.
By the way, typical species of early spring.
