hi flyforum,

This afternoon I met this Sepsis(?) sp.

I think it's a male (spines on the first leg)

Legs are reddish and some parts are dark.
Thorax looks grey to me..
I am not familiar with the dorsocentrals, I see at least one pair..

Could this be Sepsis Punctum?

By the way, Robert, note "jizz" of S. punctum - it is redish Sepsis - both legs and especialy abdomen.
