Found this one yesterday among some French Marigolds...very busy little thing for something so visibly fat. It was about 6mm in length.




No offence to fat people intended.

Might be suffering from SEVERE constipation Wink. Surely a fan of The Free Movement (lapsed) in dire need of some good ol' A.L. Salts (they have already had their quota of free advertising).
So another Gelis sp to add to my growing list of non-existent Ichy Wasps in Shetland Smile.
Thanks Paul

You are becoming very cryptic with your messages Camille. You're not a Secret Agent Cool mixing up your messages between me and another Spy are you ?

Or possibly seeking membership of the new Waffling Garbage Club. I think Paul is seeking membership also, going by recent Wafflings in Shoutbox. Jorge has Automatic Entry Grin.

This is a Gelis. Unfortunately I can't identify the species. It seems to me it is a very small specimen and so it might be Gelis festinans (???).

Thank you Camille...this one was about 3 times the size of the Gelis lucidulus you ID'd for me previously, which was about 2mm body size.

Regards Roger
