Couple of Harleys and an (Albino) Globby

IPClark · October 27, 2014

Harleys are EVERYWHERE. My house (which is painted white) was covered in easily a 100 or so a few weeks back but just a bit too high for me to do anything about.

Anyway, there are tonnes of them about at the moment.

This one was resting on a T-shirt.

This one on the Cordyline

And the tinyest globby ever. About 1mm in length. All 3 tubes used and a heavy crop. This one appeared to have no markings on. Juvenile globby? I actually found this in the house (not sure if that's a good thing... mind you it was in the shower room so I imagine they like it there)

Wonderful captures- esp like #2

#3 is bark fly or book fly I think (psocid)

The third is a psocid. The reasons in can't be a Collembolan include: exognathous mouthparts, wing buds, antennae with more than four segments and distinct tarsi.
