Hi Jason Nalassus Laevioctostriatus does seem to be your best bet, not sure what others that can be confused here with the one in the pic.

If you're looking Carabids, try checking under stones along River and Stream banks, and those fallen stones off farmers Dry stone walls are coming up with some Carabids at the moment for me. Only species i've had under logs at the moment are Nebria brevilcollis and Ocys harpaloides

You know what? I never considered emergence once... I just, assumed , they'd be active!

Thanks Joe. See:

Wing in focus (yes, certainly Triozidae!), antero-dorsal and ventral (the pot needs cleaning, I know...)
I hope these help

Thanks, Jason. Yes, it looks good for silvarnis, although as always the specimen would make it more certain... the genitalia are close, but not quite as ideal as I'd like. Everything else fits, though, so I'd be happy with a cf.

Thanks for your work on the Psyllid, Joe - yes, I'll be happy with Trioza cf. silvarnis too

Thanks Chris - I'd like to see O. harpaloides

Thanks Tristan - I must have got the families confused!
