Hello!
A rather large (5 mm) Sphaerocerid. Many of them at the house yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Possibly
Lotophila atra? Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I can't get the pics to attach :(. No special characters in name, only about 20 KB, tried to save them with different programs (Irfanview, Advanced JPEG Compressor, Windows Paint), resized them, but the forum software always tells: "Attachment file type not allowed"...
I try it here in another post...
[Later: no way... :(. Now I put the pics on my own server]

I wonder whether the first two are the same as the third.

The third is another individual. There were several at the wall that day. Do you think, it's a different species?

Same species, the last is probably older and darker. I will check material tomorrow.

The broadened and darkened part of the costa distal or R1 is consistent with
Lotophila atra.
