From my garden, this time with genital dissection. Can B. bayeri be confirmed? There is at least a small dark spot visible at the top of the parafacialia.

Hello Lorin.

the aedeagus doesn't match B. bayeri.
B. viarum is a better match.

Best wishes,
John

Yes, I can see that.
Anyways I will try to get better images of the aedeagus.
Thanks!
