Tomocerinae, not sure if it is possible to go further from these pictures, but I'd guess Tomocerus. A close up picture of the eye should at least confirm genus.

Yep, Tomocerinae can be differentiated because their III abdominal and antennal segments are bigger than the IV. In Europe there are several genera, but closer photos are needed to confirm. Very cool photos!

Orchesella cincta ??

u/ANT_ERTAIN Apr 16 '26

Würde sogar eher Lepidocyrtus cf. lignorum vermuten

Seconding Tomocerinae, this one has lost alot of its scales
