This group are very tricky to separate, most have second broods in August/September too. Mr Wilton is alluding to the white thorax in albicapitella (I guess hence its name), but the others are pale grey also, so you can separate in fresh specimens but not so in worn ones. They are easy to do under the microscope luckily.Peter Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828069795222628270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789886813706673673.post-48360576959433979592014-09-21T14:28:41.914+01:002014-09-21T14:28:41.914+01:00Hello Steve, it looks as though it might be, assum...Hello Steve, it looks as though it might be, assuming that the thorax is white and not just worn (it is a bit difficult to tell from that picture).Dave Wiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533795070964851106noreply@blogger.com
