The first of these for this year at Scatsta Airport. Photographed with flash at a lit window in the middle of the night (try it). Just one question, is it male or female?

Hi Roger, this is Coelopa pilipes, I think a male.

Hi Stephane
I didn't even look in the Gallery as C.frigida is the only one on my Checklist. If I had I would have seen your photo's which clearly show this to be C.pilipes, Det. by T. Irwin, so it must be right. That's my grovel for today :D.
Regards Roger.

A new species for Shetland Isles, or at least unrecorded. :).
