Hiya All, Please for give me if I've made any Gaffs in posting as this is my first posting here. Does anybody know what this is please ? My first thoughts are a Mosquito. Appologies for the IQ but Unfortunately this was the only shot I could get as it flew off Cheers for now Mark bandit1 attached the following image:  [96.76Kb] Edited by bandit1 on 19-05-2007 21:10 |

My first thoughts are that it is a mycetophilid - a fungus gnat  I should add that I am basing that on the fact that: it doesn't seem to have a long forward-pointing proboscis; is has orange body colouration; it has long, unfeathered antennae. Edited by ChrisR on 19-05-2007 21:15 |

Macrocera[i] of the Keroplatidae. Maybe [i]M. stigma.
