That's a nice male Lonchaea sp. (Lonchaeidae). I am a bit intrigued by the orange palps - if you see another please try and collect it - its really the only way to ID these species.

Tapadh leat, Iain! I thought it was blowing a bubble and the orange colour of the palps just a reflection in the water. Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [93.57Kb] Edited by Andre Burgers on 22-03-2021 18:09 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |
