Hi,

This was taken on 13th July 2009 in my garden, near Lincoln UK.

The female was perhaps 2.5mm long but I haven't noted it down, maybe the male just makes her look so big!

Any clues appreciated, this is one I haven't seen before.

4 pics.

This is clearly not a Cryptonevra, which are mainly black bodied.

I would suggest having a look at this thread.

Thank you! It does look like the one linked to, Chlorops hypostigma.
