Foulness Essex UK 25/3/07 Unfortunately this fly escaped before I finished processing it. Does anyone recognise it? Note that the compound eyes nearly meet above the antennae, and the interesting pattern of 8 short antennal segments beyond the pedicel and probably 5 (possibly 6) more elongated segments distally. Patterned wings, speckled dorsum and white spots on scutellum. Chris Lewis attached the following image:  [69.64Kb] |

Oops, Robert, if you look more closely you will see it is a larger ceratopogonid...

Dunno, at that level I am not familiar with the family.

There is a picture of my sorry, mortified face in the lounge thanks to Jorge. I must learn again to "look before I leap" Robert

It is a female Culicoides, wing venation shows 2 clear radial cells, so probably it was less than 5mm, more something like 2-3mm... |
