At same site where adult male M. chrysomelas seen the previous day (sighting 4236579). I had assumed at the time that this was an adult female, but seeing it on the big screen, I wonder if it is a juvenile. It was only about 2 mm long.

I asked Stuart Harris about this one who saidY. :ep, pre adult male M. chrysomelas. Can tell by the double pale tarsi on Legs 3, a feature in the adult. Size also an indicator (given by Cath). Plus her other evidence
