This specimen was collected in a pitfall trap in "De Kaaistoep" (The Nehterlands: Tilburg). Collecting date 8-15 July 2010. Does anyone have an idea what this is? Size: 1 mm. Edited by Jan Willem on 16-08-2010 07:21 Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

Most likely a scale insect.

I think that it's Coccoidea. |

Thanks Cthirion and Grigory. From another source I have received the response that it is most probably a pseudococcid nymf, so that corresponds with the opinion of Grigory. Pseudoccocid nymfs cannot be identified to species level since no keys for nymfs are available. I will have to go back in April/May next year to try to find adults. I will change the title to coccoid nymf. Edited by Jan Willem on 16-08-2010 07:23 Jan Willem van Zuijlen |
