No idea of the genus or even family. Notice the tiny wings and strong sexual dymorphism. Found today in Lisbon, Portugal.

Thans you,
Joaquim

Hi, Joaquim!

Just a guess: Berytidae? (Hemiptera)
Best regards,
Jürgen

Micrelytra fossularum (Alydidae)
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

Alves, do not forget to go to Porto Covo... because I am sure now it is very interesting for Stratiomyidae. Wink Look for Pycnomalla splendens as well. Surely Porto Covo has it as well. And if possible collect.. Thanks.

Nice hemipterans! Smile

Thank you, Black, I would never get it myself!

I was planning to go to Porto Covo this weekend but it didn't work, Jorge. Anyway, I never collect the critters! But I'll look for it.
