Dates: Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, at a wall of a house, 25 msm, Outsidefoto: kuv, 3rd of June 2012, about 9 o'clock. I think it looks similar to Mintho rufiventris. Is that ok? ID possible? Please help.
Best regards
Kuv

No problem - they are quite easy to ID from the laterally-compressed abdomen, yellow legs and 2 wide black stripes on the thorax :)
