Hi Jubeyjubes, another new genus for CNM! Well spotted. This genus tends to be small (as you may have noticed) and are often found as single foragers, rather than part of a trail. Often seen on trees, but being small you have to be looking closely. Cheers, Jon

😊 that's wonderful, thank you for letting me know. It took me a while to learn my camera well enough for the photo. Not the smallest I have but that one will take a bit more practise! We have quite a few of these guys though.
