Found this one in the garden this morning. Size 1mm. Looks a bit like Oscinella in the Gallery. Anyone know their Chloropidae??? Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [65.45Kb] |

Yes, I think these are Oscinella or close. Species level is hardly possible for these creatures.

Thanks Gabor Photographing them is almost impossibe too..Hand held, in the wind...nightmare. I think it is a good match for Oscinella sp. so that's what I'm going to name them in my Chloropidae File. That's my second species...none on my Checklist  . |
