Hello! I had thought this was Minettia inusta, it is one I have but this one seemed to be a little darker infuscated on the cross veins. I'm not sure if I have had a male before though. The confusion arose when I came across Palloptera quinquemaculata which has the extra dark spots, as well as a more orange head. Then I came across a photo in the gallery of Minettia inusta which also appears to have some extra dark spots as well as an orange head. I am now confused.  Two pics from 20th June, my garden near Lincoln UK. Janet
