It was much more shiny brown than this one http://www.dipter...d_id=46297.  Perhaps a difference between male and female? Edited by thijsdegraaf on 02-04-2012 08:49 http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

Yes, that looks correct - you just have to be careful not ot confuse it with Campylochaeta (lots of facial ridge bristles) or Phorocera (a bit longer body) at this time of year ... under a microscope I have no problems but with photos I always find it difficult if certain key features are obscured
