Hi, Taking a picture of a Psychodidae (Clogmia albipunctatus ?) through a glass, I was surprised to discover long palps bented below thorax. Have all Psychodidae such palps ?

Palp length varies a lot within Psychodidae, but long palps like these are certainly not unusual. |

Thanks Gunnar, I was quite surprised but it is not easy to see them in situ. You confirm Clogmia albipunctatus ? (Picture available if needed) Edited by evdb on 09-08-2012 18:34 Eugene |
