Are the eyes really hairy or is that an optical illusion? Can we also have a side view? Thanks |

Hmm, Ernestia puparum?  If it is male it would be interesting to see the genitalia hooked out. |

I agree with Chris. The only think that comes to mind is Ernestia puparum. However, it is quite atypical, for instance the scutellum is completely dark. My specimens (just a few) are much more reddish. But I don't have an alternative. So best guess is dark Ernestia puparum Theo |
