Hi there,

SW France yesterday. Swept by the wind on the terrace. Body size is about 8 mm long.

I am thinking of the family Keroplatidae, more precisely this genus and may be O. nemoralis. Could it be something else ?

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
