There is a slight whitish trace, which makes ID unsured. Val

The photography equipment was not the most suitable either ... As a consequence, the photographs are not good and I could not collect the insect either ... I was struck by its color, very dark and with brown tones. However, in case it helps, I add another photo that I took ... It is not a quality image either ...
