Well done on ID. They are common here but apprently only locally so. Plenty in my local parks - LordV needs to explore his surrounding area.

Thanks everyone....I guess that because I have seen a lot posted by friends in Florida and North Carolina, I assumed they were common, however I am pleased to post something new that few people have seen. Maybe it is just that they are so small they go unnoticed. Its body length is about 4-5mm.
