Aphi*d?

Aphi*d?
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
August 30, 2007
Size: about 1 mm
Came to mercury vapor (MV) lights. I didn't measure (but I have the specimen). It was smaller that my immediately prior post. I don't see the "tailpipes" I normally associate with a*phids. (Asterisks hide these terms from search engines so this image won't be displayed in search results for these words.)

Moved from Calaphidinae.
