 Hi together,

found on May 13, 2026, in a garden in southwestern Germany. Estimated size: 7 mm. Is this Otites lamed?

Greetings Siggi

 Hi Siggi, Otites lamed is correct, and it's a female.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
