Hello!
This I took on 12th March 2011, my garden near Lincoln UK. Size ~6mm. Muscina prolapsa is very similar!
2 pics.
Janet :)

Hi, Janet!
You really find the same species at the same time ;)
I did not post mine (from yesterday), because I was rather sure of
Muscina levida (all dark legs; those of yours seem lighter, so better wait for experts).

For Janet :
Muscina levida (given the broadly open cell r4+5)
For Jürgen :
Muscina prolapsa.

Lol! There really isn't a lot of difference!
Now, Juergen, we must go to that drawwing site to see where this broadly open cell r4+5 is! ;)
Thanks Stephane! B)

The r4+5 cell is where I had thought it was, I think! As marked in red..

Hello, Stephane!
Thanks a lot!

Uhh... I thought with those completely dark legs only
M. levida is possible...
(I really have to look more at the wing venation...)

Muscina levida has black palpi and in Muscina prolapsa the palpi are yellow ...
