Found this one in the garden this morning.
Size 1mm.
Looks a bit like
Oscinella in the Gallery.
Anyone know their Chloropidae???

Yes, I think these are Oscinella or close. Species level is hardly possible for these creatures.

Thanks Gabor
Photographing them is almost impossibe too..Hand held, in the wind...nightmare.
I think it is a good match for
Oscinella sp. so that's what I'm going to name them in my Chloropidae File.
That's my second species...none on my Checklist :).
