Field Notes

Description:

Small slender insects with very thin, long legs. Very long thin antennae with dark, clubbed tips. Reddish brown coloration.

Habitat:

Suburban area on White Campion (Silene latifolia) growing next to a sidewalk.

Notes:

Taken with my cell phone so poorer quality than I would like. These are either Genus Jalysus:

or Neoneides muticus:

I am having difficulty distinguishing them.
