It is a cantharid but not R. fulva. I could run it through a British key but that might be misleading if it is from Germany. John |

Thank you for helping me .. Cantharis livida could be right .. in my book there is a image where he has black wing caps but the drawings on the feet are very identical ... hmmm :-)) |

It is Cantharis livida, the spot of black gives it away! Sue  |
