Hi!
At least I am sure, that it's no Fanniid this time... ;) Only about 3.5 mm, on leaf in forest (northwest Germany) in mid August.

Jürgen, sorry, but it is a Fanniidae for me. It could even be
Piezura pardalina, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, that's a surprise! Never saw a Fanniid like this...

Why not a male Fannia lustrator?

I don't think Lars.
Fannia lustrator is a rather big species (6-9 mm), its scutellum is not yellow apically and the fore femora are dark. As far as I know, there are only a few males
Fannia with yellow abdomen and all femora yellow (
F. ornata,
F. posticata). They are different. In my opinion, given the size and the visible characters, this is either
Piezura pardalina or
Euryomma peregrinum, that I don't know.
