Hello ebbek, Nope, a female Themira. Probably T. lucida as that species is also quite common on bird droppings at the coast in the Netehrlands... Kind regards, Ectemnius |

Thanks a lot! When I look in Pont & Meier (2002) it fits well to lucida or pusilla and females of these two species seems to be very difficult to separate…. Best regards Krister |
