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. John Bratton. John Bratton attached the following image:  [70.32Kb] |

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