Looks like a species of Rachispoda . If so, possible to tell from a photo...or? Found on the shore of a loch in Shetland this month... |

I'll leave the ID to others - just wanted to say that's a rather nicely lit picture!

Gee thanx Tony and John, some well deserved praise ~ long overdue...   So it is actually Rachispoda. A new genus of Sphaeroceridae for my checklist here. Now all I need is a species name
