Hi,
against my usual habit I am requesting two species at the same time. Found them in a park in Vienna in mid April and only later realized they apparently belong to different species. Length about 6mm
Is the upper one Actina chalybea and the lower one a Beris species?

Both are Actina chalybea. Sexual dimorphism...

Ah, I see. In that case all specimens in the gallery have the wrong gender B)
