On this page you can find photos submitted by users from the start in 2012 till the shutdown in 2023. If possible, the species are identified by the kerbtier.de ID team. Sometimes determination by photo only is impossible, in this case a hint on family and genus and potential species will be given.

Decidouos forest. Species, family: Athous sp. Elateridae Comment: Hey Inja, I think to make the next step in the Athous case, you might like to get some scientific determination literature for the Polish Athous fauna and try. I think this kind of mass determination of Athous won't lead us to where we really want to go - neither you nor us. Best regards, Christoph Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 19:11

Species, family: Athous sp. Elateridae Comment: As for #3538 I would put this click beetle into genus Athous. Probably not the same species though as #3538, since the shape of the pronotum differs. Regards, Oliver I agree with Athous, but the rest only God nows. Regards, Christoph ;-) Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 19:08

Decidouos forest. B. ochraceus too ? He chainged plant in my exploration area :) Species, family: Byturus cf. ochraceus Byturidae Comment: Hi Inja, the eyes are not well visible in both of your shots, so I can only guess here a bit. But you know how to get to the final decision. Regards, Christoph Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 18:43

Decidouos forest. I searched only dark L. tessulatus and I think that the black one, shot last time, is L. tessulatus too. I asked about it on polish forum and this fact was confirmed :) Species, family: Liophloeus tessulatus Curculionidae Comment: Hi Inja, I thought so, but it's better in this case to have the confirmation of experts for the Polish fauna. Good to let us know here! Thanks & regards, Christoph Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 18:38

Decidouos forest. Species, family: Exochomus quadripustulatus Coccinellidae Comment: Not 100% sure but I would tend to Exochomus quadripustulatus (I am not aware of possible similar species in your region ...). Oliver Should be the only species of the genus in Poland and therefore correct. Regards, Christoph Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 18:36

Decidouos forest. Species, family: Athous cf. haemorrhoidalis Elateridae Comment: I go for Athous, but I am unable to determine the species (haemorrhoidalis? subfuscus?).

Oulema sp. ? Species, family: Oulema melanopus/duftschmidi Chrysomelidae Comment: A member of Oulema. For a reliable species identification, the genital needs to be examined. Oliver O. melanopus and O. duftschmidi are the two candidates, just for the sake of clarity. Regards, Christoph Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 18:28

Decidouos forest. Amara sp. ? Species, family: Amara sp. Carabidae Comment: Hi Inja, Amara is correct. However, I am not able to identify the specimen to the species level. Some of the frequently encountered species can be excluded, as for instance A. aenea, similata/ovata (all of which have three yellow basal antenna segments). Also group of species with yellow legs (familiaris/lucida/anthobia) can be excluded. Cheers, Oliver Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 18:25

Decidouos forest. The biggest european Curculionidae: Liparus glabrirostris (Küster, 1849) :) Species, family: Liparus glabrirostris Curculionidae Comment: Yes you are right.

Request: Spaziergang Species, family: Lamia textor Cerambycidae Comment: Moin, ein paar mehr Infos sollten schon rüber kommen. Am besten mit einer Messtischblattangabe, damit unsere Arbeit auch ein bisschen Lohn für uns hat und wir den Nachweis in Form eines Punktes auf der Landkarte verwerten können. Viele Grüße, Klaas Klaas hat recht, aber wollen wir mal nicht zu streng sein: Das ist Lamia textor, der Weberbock. Kommt bundesweit vor, ist aber selten (RL 2). Von Mai bis August anzutreffen. Entwickelt sich in Weiden und Pappeln. Schöner Fund! LG, Christoph PS: Nächstes Mal bitte 'ne schöne Anfragen schreiben, gell. Last edited by, on: CB2013-05-10 00:00

Vielen Dank Species, family: Ampedus pomorum Elateridae Comment: Hallo Karl, wahrscheinlich ein Ampedus pomorum. In der Ampedus-pomorum-Gruppe ist taxonomisch noch nicht das letzte Wort gesprochen: Hier wurden in den letzten Jahren Arten abgespalten und wieder eingezogen.

Vermutlich eine Wasserkäferlarve. Mehr Infos unter [link removed] Species, family: Carabus sp.

Welche Carabidae könnte das sein? Grösse: 7mm; Fundort: Gulpen (Niederlande)(04-05-2013); offenem Gelände. Vielen Dank im voraus, Grüsse Hubert. Species, family: Pterostichus cf. nigrita Carabidae Comment: Moin Hubert, der gehört in den Komplex um Pterostichus nirgrita. Leider läßt sich anhand dieses Fotos nicht 100%ig sicher sagen, welche von beiden es ist, aber ich tendiere zu P. nigrita, Weibchen, da bei P. anhracinus, Weibchen, ein ganz klitzekleines Zipfelchen am Ende der Flügeldecken sein müßte, dass aber möglicherweise aus technischen Gründen nicht zu sehen ist. Deshalb nur Pt. cf. nigrita. Viele Grüße, Klaas Last edited by, on: KR2013-05-09 23:13
