Hello all,

17th October, it landed on a leaf overhanging water, my garden near Lincoln UK. Approx. 2mm

Is it possible to say which species it is with this one and only photo? I know they usually need a specimen, I have cropped off the wing for a closer view.

If it could be confirmed as Psychoda sp. I could maybe add this to the gallery, a species would be great!

Probably: there are a few things that look like it. Can't even, sex it from this shot, and there are too many species to go further - needs the genitalia to be mounted (oo er !)

Thanks Phil, I had best not put it in the gallery then with a probably.

How one goes about mounting the genitalia of such a small insect is beyond me. Shock
