Hi;
I have caught a similar Sphaeroceridae from belgium, from chalc rich wetland. Are there species similar to Chaetopodella scutellaris?

Which key is best to use for Belgium? (handbook for british insects??)
Thank you!

Jonas

I think it is one of the very, very few that has that velvety scutellum.
