Gnat on grass seed

Paul Iddon

It's a window gnat, or a midge - various names but it's one or the other for sure!


Either way, it is definitely sat on a seed-head clump on last years ornamental grass that is still in the garden. Don't know whether I was meant to cut the plant back at any time - I'm not that good at gardening - well, proper gardening anyway.

Still, it makes a perfect foil for the gnat at least.

C&C as always encouraged.

Lovely capture Paul - yes a window gnat.
Not certain but i tend to leave ornamental grasses until about now and then cut off the old seed stalks.
