  1. Whoa, does it really have golden highlights so that it can murder in style? Posted 4 years ago
    1. Silver Ferdy, silver ;o) And yes, it has quite silvery streaks along the margins of the pronotum, so a stylish killer in black & silver indeed! Posted 4 years ago
      1. I mean further down the back, seeing some yellowish lines there?
        By the way, is there a springtail in the bottom right? Is this a test???

        1. 1) Ah yes, looks like this one has also sprinkled it's black suit with golden glitter a little. Not even holiday season at the time ... go figure.
          2) Yes, that's a Springtail - bit disappointing that you didn't come up with an ID immediately after detecting it. Test failed! ;-P
