Hello,

Similar antennae, could this be the male of the species I posted earlier? Or another Microphor sp.?

This was on 26th June 2010, on the roof inside my greenhouse. Near Lincoln UK. Size ~4mm.

One poor pic only. Frown

I'm bringing this thread back up as I think this is one of the two remaining Microphor species we have, Paul has identified a recent one as Microphor crassipes.

If this is Microphor, it has to be either M. anomalus or M. holosericeus.

This female was in the greenhouse 10 minutes before I got the male posted above. A poor shot but it's the only one I have.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
