Found this little docile creature walking about laying eggs on fungus infected birch bark. With a little help I've ended up somewhere in the region of Lonchaea. Any chance for a more precise ID?

Hi Martin

Definitely a female Lonchaea, but after that its difficult to assign to a species

Thanks Ian. It'll go down as Lonchaea sp. om the harddisk, as it wasn't collected.
