Hi!

I have painstakingly come to an ID for this and, heart in mouth, I think I got it right! Andrzej? Grin

It was inside on my window on 21st January, near Lincoln UK. Size ~6mm

It was worth a few aches and pains! Grin

As the fly was temporarily captive I had to take advantage, I know you need to see very close detail to ID these. In the past I have let them go too easily, now I have keys I was able to ID it. Shhh, some people don't like female clever old sausages. Wink

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.
