Tiny Finds

I took a visit to Blashford on the 30th of March, equipped with my Canon MPE-65mm 1-5 macro lens in search of early small insects.  The first tiny thing I found was a very small elongatated springtail on a bridge.

Next up on a bench – was a new to me Rove Beetle.  Which I believe to be a Sepedophilus marshami.

The final tiny find was this small fly – a Clusia flava
