This one is very small ( 3-4 mm), seen on leaves at the edge of a wood.
Is it a fanniidae ?
Hambraine, Belgium, August 10.
Thanks for your help
Philippe

I was wondering looking at the basal part of femur 3 it is pale - is this characteristic of the male? female always seems black?

Leg colour is somewhat variable in this species.
A long antenna claerly visible on this photo is a good jizz.

Thanks Nikita, nothing is ever that simple!
Great photo, I'm assuming because of the small size a male?
