Do these pictures look OK for ranunculi, please? The prongs (for want of a technical term) look shorter than is depicted in Stubbs & Falk 2nd edn, but don't have the albitarsis bulge at their base.

Tarsus segment to follow.

Collected 2 May 2012, coastal path near Aberffraw, Anglesey, around Ranunculus ficaria.

I can't see enough of the genitalia, but the shape of the apical tarsomere surely looks good enough to confirm C. ranunculi.
