Hello,

I doubt this can be given a genus or species name, but I'm trying. :D

5th October, on Ivy, my garden near Lincoln UK.

3 pics.

If it were in North America I would call this Simulium based on short basal R cell and bicolored tibiae.

Thank you John!

We do have a few Simulium species, with a few sub-genus including Simulium.
