presume a nymph, found on a wooden bench in Kew today. The bug measures about 0.3mm  |

Evening Toby,
You mean it was one-third of a single millimetre?  I have no real idea whatsoever - but on size if 0.3mm, I'd think Aphid... though the antennae look un-aphid like.
Take care, Jason  |

Take care, Jason | yes smaller than any adult Globular Springtail I have photographed this is taken with an MP-E lens and then heavily cropped. |

Maybe you could try Kew then - maybe they would have an idea? I'm sure Joe or Tristan will help soon... |

Well that's something different Toby. Excellent detail too on such a tiny creature.

Would suggest an aphid as well - seems to have the twin exhaust pipes running down the side of the abdomen to possible tubercles.

ok I missed those, not like the 1st instars of the commoner species so will have to look into some of the others. Get Willow aphids there but they are on the large side so unlikely. | | |
