I never thought I’d reach the day where I was taking photos of a fly that landed on my toilet seat but here we are. It’s crazy what an iNaturalist obsession does to a person.

Genus StyloniscusObserver
bmig_steveDescription
Specimen found by @apricaria inside a tropical aviary at Chester Zoo, England. Originally posted at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/161979514.
Male specimen, just 1.9 mm in length, sent to me for potential identification. Clearly not one of the known UK species. A third party suggested affinities with New Zealand species such as Styloniscus otakensis.
Images: Habitus, antennae, antenna, 1st & 2nd pleopods and 7th leg.
