19.05.2026 in our garden in Rheinbach near Bonn/Germany. 210m above sea level, huge forest near by. About 4mm. Is this a Chrysotum, and is species-ID possible from such photos? Thank you for your help, Jörg

I think Argyra.

Thanks for the correction of the name and even greater thanks for the correction of the genus :-) Kindest regards, Jörg

This Doli belongs to Rhaphium.

Oh, another correction and a genus new for me. So I tend to go for Rhaphium sp. Many thanks to all of you, Jörg
