Left front leg

This one has a small thread too, but might be good enough.

Oops

the fore tarsi are in the right postion, but there is a fibre just over the right place - so I can see nothing! Try again please, with the left leg . . .

compare the one from March -

it is definitely the same species. You may check for thoreyi: The species has feeble longitudinal furrows on the dorsal side of tarsi (I cannot see it on the screen, but you may on the originals!).

regards, Boris

I hate to bring this up...

since you've been very generous with your time and expertise, but- while the substance referred to in the title of your other comment is great food for Geotrupids and many Scarabs, it doesn't really belong on a family website. I'm not replying directly to that comment because that would lock you out of editing it.

I hope you don't mind sanitizing it a little bit.

Thanks!

Tarsi close-up

Boris, I didn't see the furrows in the tarsi, but added a picture of them enlarged to see what you think.

A member of Agonum

. . . in the wider sense. The genus has recently been split to several entities, now only a carabid specialist will be able to tell more . . .
