Hiya. Could anyone help me with the latin for this fella? Only about 4 or 5mm in length, seen in a white poplar leaf, April 2011. Putting together a photo frame display for the park shop.
Thanks  |

Hi,
this is subfamily Halticinae, genus Crepidodera. I can't tell which species by this photo.
Regards
Klaas
