I think that beetles from the Melandryidae family should also be given a bit of attention. Agree, they are very interesting.

As promisedwink.gif :
Serropalpus barbatus (Schaller, 1783) (male).
We agreed with scarit that this is it.
This nimble representative of the family quite often flies to my home, on the balcony.
Collected during a smoke break today: 12.08.2013г.
Here: M. O., G. Zheleznodorozhny (apparently arrived at the light at night).
So that's it: I caught it at night and still "collect fruits" smile.gif

I think on Hypulus quercinus (Quens., 1790), but it is necessary that someone would confirm or refute. Now dropping out of the discussion for a day, sorry.

It's not really difficult there if you can see the head.
