Hello!

A rather large (5 mm) Sphaerocerid. Many of them at the house yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Possibly Lotophila atra? Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I can't get the pics to attach Sad. No special characters in name, only about 20 KB, tried to save them with different programs (Irfanview, Advanced JPEG Compressor, Windows Paint), resized them, but the forum software always tells: "Attachment file type not allowed"...

I try it here in another post...

[Later: no way... Sad. Now I put the pics on my own server]

I wonder whether the first two are the same as the third.

Hello, Gabor!

The third is another individual. There were several at the wall that day. Do you think, it's a different species?
Best regards,
Jürgen

Same species, the last is probably older and darker. I will check material tomorrow.

The broadened and darkened part of the costa distal or R1 is consistent with Lotophila atra.
