This cockroach I can get to genus level, however – it's Ectobius.

But distinguishing E vittiventris & E pallidus, both common around here, is difficult without a microscopic examination.

Both are harmless & live outdoors. They can fly however, & sometimes enter houses by accident, attracted by lights.

Made a quick garden visit between (welcome) showers 🌧️

Expectations were low, but I was rewarded with a brief glimpse of this pretty little fly, probably Callomyia amoena.

Fairly rare – only 15 prior observations in DE on iNaturalist, & none around here on either iNat or GBIF. More common in NL though.

One of my favourite WTF!?!😱 insects seen earlier today.

It's a buffalo treehopper (Stictocephala bisonia; 🇩🇪 Büffelzikade).

And although bison are native in Europe as well as North America, this namesake isn't – it's an invasive species which first arrived from over the pond around a century ago.

Sorry – awful photos, but the only way I could get them was by holding the camera high above my head & semi-blindly tapping on the fold-out screen to take a shot 🙄

But still worth sharing, IMO, as they show a male Dexia vacua, a tachnid fly species that's very rare except, it seems, in my garden 🤷‍♂️🙂
