thanks Bahar. Is there something I can examine to see which genus this is?
regards, Jeremy

Elachiptera sp., Chloropidae. After the pictures impossible to identify the species. The distinctly yellowish tip of the scutellum with its widely separated apical bristles exclude the abundant E. cornuta and its undescribed sister species [compare my notes on other E. cornuta images]. E. breviscutellata Nartshuk has a shorter scutellum, sometimes slightly yellowish, too, with similar apical bristles.
