Sign In to followSo, kerbtier.de hat für Klarheit gesorgt und ihn als Athous haemorrhoidalis identifiziert :)
Ok, werde den Familien-Namen schon mal eintragen.
Hatte auch eine Bestimmungsanfrage auf kerbtier.de ( https://www.kerbtier.de/cgi-bin/deSnapSu... ) gestellt, mal sehen, vllt kommen sie wenigstens bis zur Gattung, wäre ja schon was ;)
"Spotted on May 1, 2009" Ist kein aktueller Fund ;)
Danke schon mal für's Überlegen - Blattwespenlarve halte ich auch für möglich, darum bin ich so unsicher, zumal das Foto leider auch nicht das beste ist.
This should be the jumping spider Heliophanus aeneus.
Yes, I'm with folicallychalled - this is a male A. diadematus.
This one belongs to the genus Oxythyrea, but since I'm not familiar with the fauna of Portugal I'll leave it with Oxythyrea sp. :)
Yes, you're right, this one is an Oxythyrea - but since I don't know which species exist in Portugal I can only make an Oxythyrea sp. of it.
Hi auntnance123,
these are Scarabaeidae of the genus Oxythyrea - would those have been found in germany I'd say Oxythyrea funesta (because of the white spots on the pronotum), but since I don't know if there are similar species in Portugal I leave it with Oxythyrea sp. :)
Hello auntnance123,
the black beetle belongs to the Scarabaeidae, genus Oxythyrea.
And the two that are mating belong to the Cerambycidae.
I'm not familiar with the fauna of Portugal thus I don't dare to get more specific. But maybe those hints can help you with identifying the species :)
Such a beauty :D
