Thanks Igor, for the determination.
I would like to identify it further, if possible. Such a large genus, though... :o


Dear Keith,

I just have normal potted plants, one of which was kept outside in the garden until late autumn.

I caught two specimens, a male and a female, within two days. Unfortunately the female escaped before I could investigate it. Was hoping for more to find, didn't happen.
Do you think the adults were overwintering or there were larvae developing in the soil?
