This doli was about 6 mm.
Is it possible to tell species?

Dear Kurt,

This looks to me like the female of Poecilobothrus nobilitatus (dark wings, no bristles on hind metatarsus, purple sutural spot on mesonotum), a very common species on muddy spot near and on open water.

With kind regards,
Cheers,
Marc
