Didn't get close enough to get proper shots of this tiny Doli...is it ID'able from these shots? EDIT; Added Achalcus sp. to heading. Thanks to Stefan and Paul. Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [35.54Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 24-06-2009 10:08 |

Stefan Naglis wrote: I think this is Achalcus Never heard of that one....must try to get some better photo's of it, but it's only a few mm long. Have seen it a couple of times in the same place in the garden (territorial surely), but flitting among the undergrowth which makes it very hard to get proper shots...watch this space..... Regards Roger |

All veins are diverging towards the wing margin, hence it must be Achalcus.

Genitalia, or would a GOOD photograph show up any deciding factors? Sat most of the day over a patch of spent Bluebells looking for it (how sad is that?). Still got a few photo's of other types of Doli's, plus the weather has been great and I am supposed to take it easy for a month anyway, what better way???? Regards Roger |
