Description

Specimen "collected" (from myself in otherwords) Summer 2009 after fieldwork in Dorset. Photo taken in 2010 so the specimen is very much dessicated. Approximatley 5mm in length.

Taken using a cheap 1.3mp USB microscope adaptor for a trinocular eyepiece of my stereo-zoom microscope.

The photo is available for use, but I request I am contacted prior to use. Please see my website (www.zpyder.co.uk).
