Hello!
Helga Becker gave me the permission to post this photo from June 2006 (Hessen, Germany). I am not sure, if this is a female
R. scolopaceus. Is seems a little bit slender to me, doesn't fit my "idea" of
R. scolopaceus, but I am not sure. Can something be said from this small pic? Thanks!

Too small to be sure.
It's a female and probably your 'idea' of scolopaceus is based on males.
That might explain it.

Thanks, Theo! I had already seen females, too (and recognized, this was one), but they still seemed to me less gracile.
