These seem to be on just about every plant which is still in flower. There were a good 15 or so on one Hogweed flower head today, but also on Tansy, Bindweeds, Ragwort and so on. |

There are afew other micros that can be confused with it. If your struggling get a photo and post it on here one of the experts will help.
P.S I agree its Anthophila fabriciana
