23 April 2007, New Brunswick, Canada. Length: 3.5mm. Think I have the family correct - Sepsidae, can it be ID'd to genus? Dorsal surface is black shiny when viewed from above, appears grey when viewed at an angle. Tony T attached the following image:  [50.49Kb] Edited by Tony T on 01-10-2007 01:40 |
