Dorypteryx longipennis - Collage

Horrible sub-2mm fast moving target. Collage of mediocre shots showing just enough detail for ID.
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.
Side view of same critter running on a toothstick here:

    Despite your frustration, this is very impressive. And with sub 2mm, I don't think a lot of people will have casually observed it :) Posted 4 years ago
