Thanks Neprisikiski. It's different to the last Ernestia that I put here: much bigger and much more clear in colour. I hope that it becomes to anothes species. We wait for Theo

I have little doubt it is rudis, but technically I cannot be sure from these pics (they are not quite in focus)

Thanks Theo, then I will put Ernestia aff. rudis.
Impossible absolutely for my camera to be more sharp and focused. Except the head in second picture. But the other photos I thinks that are focused...

You are right.

The focus is OK, you are lacking focal depth.
Which may be difficult to solve with some types of cameras.
