Hello,
Sorry for bad photos first of all. I suspect it to be Wagneria alpina though it is mountain species and therefore I want to ask if it could be confused with any related one. Thank you in advance.

HI,
I have only seen
W. alpina once, but you could be right. In Finland the species is restricted to South and is actually quite warm-loving, so do not trust the name!

Thanks for your comment Jaakko,
I have looked to the Fauna Europaea website, it is given to other Nordic countries including Estonia, though absent in Central Europe. It was collected in the Samogitian highlands close to the see, where winters are wormer indeed.
