8.5mm, Clitheroe UK, 2 May 2011. Is this a female P. pavida? It hid under a leaf when I pointed the camera at it. Is that how it got its specific epithet? Stephen R attached the following image:  [106.98Kb] |

Can't see the facial ridge bristles but it is bluish and has pale tibiae and hairy eyes so it's a fair bet
