This is a little Actia that I photographed a few years ago (17/5/2009) - can enough be seen to identify it to species? I would probably list it under infantula if I had to guess.

For me, I see hairs on the Cubital vein and the entire length of R1, which keys to crassicornis or pilipennis Steve |

Yeah, if I squint I can see that ... I just wasn't too sure if I was deluding myself!

Hmm, if we assume that it is a female then, going by the length fore tarsonomere 5 then it should be A.pilipennis

I use image zoom, after Paul's recommendation - it works well. http://www.dipter...d_id=34798 Steve |
