Found this little docile creature walking about laying eggs on fungus infected birch bark. With a little help I've ended up somewhere in the region of Lonchaea. Any chance for a more precise ID?

Thanks Ian. It'll go down as Lonchaea sp. om the harddisk, as it wasn't collected.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
