Size ~5mm , found at 17. September 08, middle Germany, on small dry piece a meadow.
The question is again: E. crassipennis or oblonga, and one can here which definite recognize?

Additional question: Wink
Is there a possibility of photographing parts of the body purposefully in order to facilitate the identification?

Best regards

Frank

I'm impressed with the quality of the images. How did you get so much in focus with a living animal?

Thanks for the praise!
I use a Panasonic FZ50, Raynox DCR250, tripod, cable release and focusing rack.
Normal way use I the highest possible aperture (f11), but has f9 to be sufficient here.
A little luck probably always belongs to.
