 Found 02-June-2019 at Altrheinsee Eich near Mainz, Germany. It was running and hurrying - and finally feeding on some little insect it catched.
Thanks and regards,
Stella

 Hi Stella. Nice find.
You may find the online Micropezidae key at http://www.microp...o/node/235 useful. I based it upon images. Any comments welcome.
Good hunting

 Hi Darwyn,
many thanks! This is a really great key! I tried it on "my" little one here and even though not all terms are familiar to me, I could find it quite easy...
I really appreciate Smile
Best regards,
Stella
