Hello everyone!
I know the species in the Sepsidae family are difficult to identify.
Is identification perhaps still possible? I'm thinking of Sepsis sp., possibly S. cf. punctum.
Size: approx. 3 mm
Date found: March 17, 2026
Habitat: Front garden in town, on spurge, probably Euphorbia myrsinites
Location: Nuremberg region, district Nürnberger Land, 340 m above sea level

To identify Sepsis from photo, you need a photo of the underside of the front thigh of a male. These are bristles there which are different for each species.

Hello James,
thanks for your reply.
That's a pity—I don't have it.
In that case, it will have to remain "indet".

Sepsis is without doubt.
