Size ~5mm , found at 17. September 08, middle Germany, on small dry piece a meadow.
The question is again: E. crassipennis or oblonga, and one can here which definite recognize?
Additional question: ;)
Is there a possibility of photographing parts of the body purposefully in order to facilitate the identification?
Best regards
Frank

Excellent !
You can see teh backwards curved 7th sternite.
SO it is a female E. oblonga.

I'm impressed with the quality of the images. How did you get so much in focus with a living animal?

Thanks for the praise!
I use a Panasonic FZ50, Raynox DCR250, tripod, cable release and focusing rack.
Normal way use I the highest possible aperture (f11), but has f9 to be sufficient here.
A little luck probably always belongs to.
