Can someone tell something more about this sphaerocerid? (As I suppose it isSmile) It was found yesterday in the Netherlands at a fence in my village. (near the sea) 4 mm long. Sorry for the bad pictures, I'm not a good photographer. Thanks in advance.

Limosininae. Otherwise, too few deatils visible for ID. Send me the specimen.

It is Limosina sylvatica. The strongly modified mid legs are poorly visible in thes pictures as they are kept close to the body. It is about the largest species of the Limosininae we have in the Netherlands. Apparently not really uncommon.
