Hi!

ID possible for this male Gymnosoma? Not so small (ca. 7 mm), three days ago at a hedge (northwest Germany).

Yes, it is a male Gymnosoma
The pictures are excellent, but Gymnosoma are not, so no 100 % ID possible. Looks like male G. rotundatum

Thanks, Theo! I know about the problems of identifying Gymnosoma after photos. But if one doesn't try... ;)
