Paederus littorarius Gravenhorst
Moved from Paederus. ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Lisa.

I don't think the male specimen you sent is the same as the one photographed, but they should be the same species. The only you sent has noticeable fungal hyphae (i.e. Laboulbeniales) on the elytra and appendages.

Paederus littorarius
Thank you.
I may still have the other one pretty sure they were the same. I check and see, if I do I will send it with the next batch.
