      Yes. peculiar li'l species. I was especially delighted with the nephew from La Palma at the time :o)
      Cerobasis longicornis Hmpppfff ... took this to be the nymph of Marcenendius fortunatus, as I found it together with an adult of that species, but closer inspection shows that cannot be right. Should be some Cerobasis this - with a few species to choose from on La Palma ... needs further work ...<br /> Work done :o) : Cerobasis longicornis based on the somewhat larger wing-stubs with brown spots and the colour pattern on the legs.<br /> As this seems to be the first photo of the species I can easily find on the web, I've decided to also upload a small collage with some shots of details:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/89959/cerobasis_longicornis_-_some_details.html Cerobasis,Cerobasis longicornis,Geotagged,La Palma (Canary Islands),Psocoptera,Spain,Trogiidae

      Once you start paying attention to the small critters it quickly becomes impossible to not see them anymore ... not sure that I would advise to go there ... if you see it, you'll want to know what it is and try and photograph it *rolleyes* But believe you me - good eyesight has _very_ little to do with it (in my case) ... a new set of glasses is about two years overdue ... ;o) Posted 4 years ago
