Hello,

Coelopa frigida is for a fly extremely polymorph depending on its size. Larger specimen tending to have more and larger spines while smaler specimen tending to have to have a small number or nearly none of short spines. Thats the reason why there were described several Coelopa species in the past which are all synonymized with frigida now. In experiments froms were interbreeding.
