Hey my friend, it seems to be a Lipoptena cervi!

Hi, my friend! Are you sure? I have two reasons to doubt: 1. too small 2. too early (spring instead of autumn) Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Excellent observation, Nikita ! It is definitely NOT cervi, and very likely fortisetosa, which agrees on all point you have mentioned. [I cannot exclude pauciseta which is unlikely in Kazakhstan but maybe just possible.] Theo |
