Hello!

Many of these small (4 mm) Anthoymiidae were resting on fence stakes at a hedge last week (northwest Germany).

Maybe D. platura (central vitta on dorsum)? - assuming front tibia is not really yellow! I'm sure there are lots of other possibilities though.

Thank you, Stephen. The pictures are really bad. I was unsure, whether to save them at all...
