hello

This little one is causing me trouble. It was netted over a small patch of rotting sea weed. The upturned bristles makes me think of Canacidae, but other features are wrong.
It has darkened somewhat and was primarily light grey.
3 mm
From the North coast of Zeeland Denmark, 27.v.2023

Any suggestions?

Cheers, Rasmus

Tethina grisea?

That could very well be, Tony. Thanks.

Do you know a key somewhere? I can see several Tethina from Denmark, but I have no idea about how they look.

Never mind, found a key myself. I will check it.

Tethina grisea looks correct, thanks once again.
