I seem to catch this one (or similar species) regularly, but am struggling to place it even in the right family. Wing looks like Cylindrotomidae, but I presume it can't be, as none of the (4 ?) species fits.

That leaves Dicranomyia, or Lispothrix ? Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Joris

Dicranomyia modesta (1st antennal segment yellow, few choices).
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
