This one disturbed me, wenn I was cleaning my windows. He walked around with half-spreaded wings ( Heerlen IX 2004 ).

Thanks in advance,

Ben

It is a Rhinophoridae, parasitoid of woodlice (pissebedden). I doe not have a key at hand here, but maybe one of the other visitors can give a more precise answer.

Great work, Paul, you should start a commercial "one hour determination service".

This is Paykullia maculata, a Rhinophorid indeed.
Quite common indoor, rather scarce outdoor.
The wing pattern is characteristic.

Do I share in the money ?

Thank you both.
I don't have to pay, because I came up with the idea.

The idea is good for a discount. And Theo, if everyone who confirms the previous identification get a share, then the forum will overflow with confirmations. :) Still, I will consider it. :D
