After a bit of an absence, partly due to bad weather, partly to an overdose of work (Sad), here I am again with this happy couple celebrating spring!
Looking in my archives I found something very similar identified as a Psilidae, Chamaepsila sp. Would this be possible?

Hi Sarah!

Your identification is correct (as usual): this is a Chamaepsila couple.
