I hope this specimen can be identified.  Yesterday evening on my balcony attracted by the light. Minas de Riotinto (Huelva), February 20, 2026. Thanks! André, Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [248.03Kb] errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

A possible candidate is Limonia flavipes, but your 2nd image shows a yellow apex of the left hind femora - L. flavipes has black apices. Could we see a complete view of the first photo showing all femora of one side?

Thanks André, yes it helps - but only to exclude L. flavipes. I'll keep on searching.
