Found this sunbathing on a leaf on 21st Apr 2025 (Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, Germany). The size is about 6-7 mm, if I remember it correctly... best regards, Jann Jann Wuebbenhorst attached the following image:  [118.26Kb] Edited by Jann Wuebbenhorst on 26-04-2025 20:27 |

The images are very dark and it's hard to see enough details. So I can only guess, that it could be a female Kirbya moerens.

or, my guess, Periscepsia (Ramonda) prunaria, which is very abundant at the moment and more slender than Kirbya. Moreover, Kirbya is already done for this year. Theo |
