Looks like...
The pale grey color reminds me of Chaetaglaea rhonda, but for your location, I would expect that Chaetaglaea tremula is more likely. Let's double-check it.

Chaetaglaea tremula
Yes, I think this is Chaetaglaea tremula. I found one last year that I remember had a very high sheen, like this one. I placed the camera flash a little higher this time and it seemed to help.

I agree with you.
I love the diversity of topics here! Speaking of the amazing world of bugs and ecosystems, it reminds me of how football betting not on Gamstop (https://nongamstopbetting.info/sports/football-non-on-gamstop/) offers a similar thrill of discovery. Like observing intricate bug behavior, exploring betting options outside traditional systems provides fresh perspectives. Whether it’s understanding nature or finding new ways to enjoy sports, there’s always excitement in venturing beyond the usual boundaries.
