Alfonso Balmori

Best regards

Rinaldo Nicoli Aldini

Dear Daniel:

check out this interesting paper

Thanks for your answers!

Dear Daniel,

I agree with Alfonso Balmori, your specimen could be Nepa cinerea.

If you can take another picture with a good resolution it can help more in identifying this specimen. Not forget to mention the scale.

Hope it helps.

Best

Hakima

Thanks, I will look for a better picture if possible but I think I am OK with the answers so far.
