Hi,

regarding the legs' colour and the banana tail, this one seems to be something different from all the others I have uploaded... what is it?

Length about 5 mm.

Thanks for your reply,

Lennart

ok, many thanks!
Paratendipes albimanus seems to be a well-known species in Europe, referring to what I find about it in the web, so I can be optimistic to meet it again :-)
