3mm, big purple eyes, Dolichopod antennae.> Microphor crassipes
blowave
Hi,

I can see many families in this but can't pin it down to any! One pic only, feeding on Ground Elder. A car scared it off! Angry

This was near a drain at the front of my garden, near Lincoln UK. 13th June

Aaaah, thanks Paul, I knew I had seen those antennae before! I've had two other Microphor sp.

Maybe I can put this one in the Gallery as Microphor sp. as we don't have any, it's a slightly better photo than the other one.

Roger, I'll show you the door. Grin

Microphor crassipes. They could creep through the cracks between the door and the doorpost. Whether they will...? Perhaps when roger is lurking outside...

Super! Thanks Paul, I will upload the pic for the gallery.

This leaves the two remaining species I had, which I think are different species as I had a poor pic of a female 10 minutes before the male in the greenhouse (in one of the links above). I should upload that photo to the thread, we only have three species of Microphor and it looks like I have them all! One is down, two to juggle as to which is which. Grin

Oh yes, forgot to say, if I was outside and saw that hairy face I would crawl through the gap to the inside as well.. Wink
