Thanks. I thought it was C.gr

Thanks. I thought it was C.granulatus, but the info I found indicated it was too early in the year for them.

In Europe

Where they come from, they can be found wintering like this, in their pupal chamber under the bark of dead wood. We always made it a game to guess from the condition of the wood (on the outside) whether we'd find these or C. auronitens
