a good old acquaintance, the Cockchafer
....
Biker, you lucky one
I think it's been decades since i saw the last cockchafer. And that, although it is said that after years of being almost exterminated, they have increased again, explicitly here in south-west Germany.
this highly endangered stag-beetle (Lucanus cervus) female (?) made a visit on my terrace
or is it a Dorcus parallelipipedus ?

that's difficult, isn't it?
The female of Lucanus cervus
looks very similar to Dorcus parallelipipedus

Yesterday's observation in my living room:
the Nosferatu spider (
Zoropsis spinimana)
NABU:
"16,000 Nosferatus spiders from Freiburg to Rendsburg
The immigrant householder is more widespread than previously known
Within a few years, the Nosferatus spider, which originated in the Mediterranean region, has spread to almost all of Germany."

a female with the typical zigzag shape decoration called the stabilimentum, at her web

)

A swallowtail was on my balcony today. They are very big! I was totally fascinated
These are smartphone pictures. Camera was not at hand. So not the best pics

I am sending him back to Estonia with many greetings and best wishes
In Germany they are pretty rare. For me it was a small miracle.

European Slow Worm in this case. You can find them everywhere on bike paths. I put them in the sun so that they reach their body temperature more quickly. I also see a lot of grass snakes. However, always "newborns" so no adult animals. They are killed by cyclists. Lots of them and every year
