Hi,

This was very small, maybe 5mm long. It looks like the pic of Drapetis ephippiata in the gallery apart from the legs. Sorry, this was the biggest I could get with 10MP. It was on kidney bean leaves.

Taken on 21st July, Lincoln UK.

Thanks!

No, a Platypalpus.

Thanks Paul, dare I think it could be a female Platypalpus agilis? There's only a male in the gallery but the legs match! :)
