2.07.2024 in our garden in Rheinbach near Bonn (Germany), 210 m above sea level. About 3mm. I know they are difficult, but perhaps someone has a hint. As Jürgen already pointed out, individual 1 might be a male, plenty of the others aroind, female then?. Thank you for your help, Jörg

Hello,

based on size, habitat and recognisable features, all are most likely L. lutea. if you have collected them and want to have them identified for sure, send me specimens in alcohol ->pm me

greetings
