Neides tipularius - Palearctic Stilt Bug
Today, while arranging flowers at home, my wife discovered this delicate insect moving among the leaves. I didn't have time to attach a flash, so I took the photo in natural light. It was very difficult to focus on it, as its body is less than 1 mm thick and it was moving constantly.

In Germany and the Alps it is widespread and not uncommon. In Britain it is locally common in large parts of the South. In Ireland it is rare.
