Found this one 4 days ago while out photographing birds (as you do)! Took me 3 days to get a proper photo of it (or at least the same type) from a patch of Tormentil by a beach about a mile from my house. No Chloropids previously recorded in Shetland other than Chlorops sp by me a couple of years ago. Any chance of a species name for this?? Size under 2mm.

Thanks Sara..I did check those before posting, I wasn't too sure these could be determined without rummaging through their genitalia.  Regards Roger |

I have exactly like this sample in my collection, and I am sure about that, cause it had confirmed already by one of experts of Chloropidae...!

Shouldn't cereris have a white arista like this one? Actually, thinking about it, I'm not so sure that is C.cereris either. Edited by empeejay on 18-07-2011 15:01 |
