In September 2011 I took a foto of an animal sitting on the downside of the leaf of a hazelnut. The pic was taken in Bavaria. A searched and - I was not successful. First I thought, it's an aphid, but the wings are not in right position. Size maximum 3mm.

I hope that anyone knows this tiny ???

Thanks and Ciao

Make sure you don't preview your post after attaching the image, as this removes the attachment.
