Hi,

I'm stuck! The thorax reminds me of Psilidae but not much else does. It was running around on roof inside my greenhouse. Size maybe 4-5mm

2nd June, near Lincoln UK.

Maybe I should put Psilidae in the title too Sara! There's nothing in the gallery with marks on the thorax like this, but I guess you have to know your Psilidae. Wink
