Hi!

This was inside on 8th April, I had to climb onto my sink and kneel at awkward angles to get it! Near Lincoln UK.

I was guessing at either Scoliocentra or Tephrochlamys rufiventris, but there seems to be either no bristles on the scutellum tip or they are broken off.

Two pics + 2 crops

not Tephrochlamys (because of dorsocentrals before sutura), probably Scoliocentra

Thank you Katka, I guess it's not possible to say which species. :)

Scoliocentra brachypterna is similar, but I am not sure.

Thanks Katka, I will keep it as a possible S. brachypterna unless someone (Andrzej, where is he?) can say more. :)
