To be fair I don't even know if these are insects. Ticks? Mites? Bugs? Beetles? They have 6 feet, but I think I read that ticks go through a stage with 6 feet too. I see: antennae, 6 feet, hair... They were like dropplets of tar on treetrunks anyone, any idea?    |

Can you tell me why it is not a springtail? It looks remarkably like Dicyrtoma fusca in my Chinery insect guide...

I guess they might be adults. These buggers do not get very big, so...

Knowing where to look I found in heiko bellman's tirion insectguide Allacma fusca that looks exactly like it. Thanks for the hints |

That is probably the same species I mentioned but placed in a different genus. The name fusca indicates as much, but I can try to find out, or you can go to http://www.collem... and see for yourself.

I cannot make heads or tails from it, both names are mentioned and it produces maps, but it doesn't tell me wether they are synonyms or not. But then again it's all latin to me  |

(Sorry, could not resist...)They are two different species, and not synonyms which I though likely because of the species names. Comparing these two images of Allacma fusca and Dicyrtoma fusca I think it must be the Allacma. Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |
