Hi, This pretty little thing was floating in a dish of water. I scooped her out to dry off in a plastic dish, when offered my finger she clung on and proceeded to have a clean up. I haven't found any with tassel antennae like this, does anyone know which Family it belongs to, I am hopeful for a genus too. Lincoln UK on 9th April. Size 2.5mm approx. Thanks for any help, Janet.  3 pics blowave attached the following image:  [103.12Kb] Edited by blowave on 10-04-2009 19:12 |

Thank you Gabor! I thought males had the feathery antennae in other species, but the fat abdomen convinced me otherwise!  Janet. |
