Btw, is it really that small that you need a microneedle or what's your construct about? Phebellia are rather big here. P. glauca is by far the most common here then come stulta and nigripalpis. These guys visit flowers, especially Umbelliferaceae, so they are easy to spot. The species glauca-group vary and are pain to identify, especially when there is always many glauca per one of any other.

Finding new stuff is always exciting! I ID'd today my first self-collected Elodia ambulatoria and two Angioneura acerba.
