Is this Notiphila caudata? I have keyed it to this species, but it looks different from the photos in the gallery. Size 3mm. UK 15 August 2010.

No, it's Sphaeroceridae, something like Rachispoda. (Note the very short hind metatarsus, and the bowed cubital vein)

Thanks Tony. No wonder I couldn't key it!! Must look harder and not make assumptions.
