Hello,

sorry for the poor picture quality. Could this be a Phorocera? With 10 mm it seemed a little big for P. obscura for me. On a forest path (northwest Germany).

It is not common. but Phorocera obscura can be 11 mm.
This definitely looks like Phorocera.

Thank you, Theo. I will save it as Phorocera cf. obscura.
