Hello, my photos are from July 5, 2017, taken on the edge of Koenigsberg lake, Brandenburg, Germany. Could it be a male Themira malformans? Thank you for answering! Hans Haleun attached the following image:  [268.63Kb] Edited by Haleun on 28-02-2021 12:19 |

Hi Hans, Well, The first and last photo's are probably females. The other two photo's of males are certainly in the direction of T. malformans. But that species has a boreal distribution. I'd say then the most likely candidate is T. superba, a quite common species on waterfowl droppings. Kind regards, Ectemnius |

Dear Ectemnius, thank you a lot! Indeed picture 1 and 4 were taken four minutes before the other two. I'm sorry about my inaccuracy. Thankful regards, Hans |
