- Such a relief to have the hosepipe ban lifted. Was getting worried that our gardens would start to wilt once the floodwater resides.
- Found this morning in Brede High Woods (in horrible weather). Some kind of Mite. Am thinking it is probably one of the Uropodidae, a mesostigmatic mite. Can anyone help with id? #Mite #Acari #HighWeald

- Haven't got many pictures of Tricho's in the wild. These are the only ones that spring to mind. Here's a link to my flickr album of Trichogrammatidae: www.flickr.com/photos/63662... and it has a few (not very good) video clips of 0.2mm long Megaphragma noyesi wasps wandering around and preening.

- Yes it is! There are a few papers that deal with the Oligositini, but they are difficult to find, and not easy to interpret. Trichogrammatid wasps are difficult.
