    That's awesome. I remember this genus being so hard to decipher. Posted one year ago

      It certainly is. Initially it was between X. acerbus and luctuosus, but two others were pretty sure it was acerbus. That seemed pretty good for me, I just hope its correct. Quite exciting, not many recordings of this one. Posted one year ago

        I once found one in the grass, but only because of our cat. Really hard to find them. Posted one year ago
