This is a little Actia that I photographed a few years ago (17/5/2009) - can enough be seen to identify it to species? I would probably list it under
infantula if I had to guess.

For me, I see hairs on the Cubital vein and the entire length of R1, which keys to
crassicornis or
pilipennis

Yeah, if I squint I can see that ... I just wasn't too sure if I was deluding myself! ;)

Hmm, if we assume that it is a female then, going by the length fore tarsonomere 5 then it should be
A.pilipennis :)

I use image zoom, after Paul's recommendation - it works well.
