I have found a few of these tiny beetles , 2mm in length , in my garden on Buddleia . They do not have the swollen thighs of most Flea beetles , although they otherwise look like Longitarsus sp .Has anyone got any idea what they might be , any help much appreciated. I live in the suburbs of London , UK.

Hello,

Anobiidae. I think, Ochina ptinoides.

Thankyou Jurgen for your quick response .That looks spot on , it is a pest on Ivy apparently and I have a lot of Ivy in my garden.
