Hi flyforum,

Today I found (again) a Rhino inside my house on the window.
The window is next to the outside wall of the house where are a lot of plants.

Is it Stevenia? and what kind of Stevenia is this?, if characteristics can be found..

- shining black body
- little white stripes on side of tergite
- some little spots on thorax(?)
- size 7-8 mm

fly-great, Robert
