If I am not terribly wrong this should be around female Beris chalybata.

Beris chalybata does not have entirely black legs. Moreover, I think I can see palpi so I think this is Actina chalybea...

Paul is right, Actina it is. I usually separate these two genera based on the relative length of antennae compared to the body. This angle fooled me completely. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

Thanks a lot Paul. I photographed this couple today in the garden in Lower Austria. Could they also belong to Actina chalybea. One of them has not entirely dark legs. Best regards Margarita Auer Margarita Auer attached the following image:  [94.78Kb] |
