Hi, I had to lay down into nettles to make these photos. They are on the underside of a polypore in forest, by brook, some 2.8 mm long. I collected one specimen only, I think their population may have been quite small, so I wanted to let the others go free  Are they Asteia?

Are there some southern/Central European Asteia species with an abdominal pattern? To my eyes these look like Drosophila sp. |

I think they might be Asteiidae, but I'd need specimens to see which one.

I will have access to the specimen this weekend, will see, what I can make of it. Maybe I can key it out also.

You are right. I think they are not fully coloured yet, though, when I compare them with the images in the other forum thread.
