Pogonognathellus longicornis - Worn

At first I thought it might be something else, but after some searching I suppose it should just be a worn P. longicornis. Anyway, adding it for Ireland.

Interesting details! It seems to have scales similar to a silverfish? And then curled antennae are cool too! Posted 4 years ago

  Yes indeed, these have scales (that can rub off). I'll try getting a close-up next time I see one with scales. The antennae can curl and straighten out again - I have series of one critter with some images curled, some straight. Posted 4 years ago
