Dorypteryx longipennis on tooth stick

Horrible sub-2mm fast moving target. Tried letting it run up and down a tooth stick but even then near impossible to hit in focus :-/
This species was first recorded in the Netherlands in 2009, but may very well have been taken to be 1Dorypteryx domestica by casual observers looooong before that.
The veins in the wings are about the only diagnostic feature possible to photograph.
Collage with some details useful in recognition/ID:

      Well, let's conclude that it was over stretching my otherwise quite ample patience just a tad this time ;o)
      And not too happy with the results, but at least I was able to ID it ...       Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
