Hi Helge, it looks a little like Psocoptera but the size does not fit. As far as I know Psocoptera are 3-5 (-10) mm in size and this one was larger. Unfortunately I have no exact size but by comparing it to the bark it was rather 10-15 mm. Regards Lars |

Hello Lars, Mtfyfe wrote:it looks a little like Psocoptera it is Psocoptera. Unfortunately I have no exact size but by comparing it to the bark it was rather 10-15 mm. The biggest european Psocoptera, Psococerastis gibbosa reaches a wing span up to 16 mm and a body length of 7-7.5 mm. This is not Psococerastis, but another rather big species, maybe Metylophorus nebulosus (body length 6-7 mm). Compare here: http://www.brc.ac...llery.aspx Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hello Jürgen, I agree. So my size estimate was mistaken. Thanks for the link. My best guess from this list would be Metylophorus nebulosus. Correct? Regards, Lars |
