Don't know what type of fly....

Paul Iddon

...except, now I do (thank you LordV). It's a drain fly. Actual size about 3mm.



It was on a leaf on the apple tree, and this is probably a 200% crop of the original image. Couldn't do much about better focus or light - used the ringflash to help - the day was dull and a twitching breeze edge the leaf in and out of focus, plus the damned bloody bug simply wouldn't face me, so it's a arse-end shot, lol...

Weird little furry critter mate. Nice capture

Cheers dude, there are plenty in the compost bin still, but they flutter about to much. Moth flies always seem to.

Thanks m8.

Yes indeed Predrag - moth fly or drain fly - they go by the same name over here. Brian identified it for me.
