Is it possible to know species name...I know there are a lot of these which look alike...but if you don't ask, you'll never find out. Size 2mm. As a side story..while taking this photo in my garden, I looked up to be confronted by a male Otter about 1 metre away. I think it has taken up residence under my garden shed. I don't know which of us got the biggest fright  .Regards Roger Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [62.79Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 31-03-2009 10:56 |

Thanks a lot for that Camille  . Bit of a mouthful for so small an insect. This was one thread I didn't expect to get a determination. I only sent it in 'cause I didn't have anything else at the time...change in the weather means more insects are starting to appear .Regards Roger |
