Hi, This was feeding on Cyperus longus pollen on 15th August. The Cyperus is growing at the side of the drain along the front of my garden, a few miles south of Lincoln UK. I live in a woodlands and heathlands type location. Is this correct, and if not can anyone say what it is? Thanks for any help. I have trimmed the head and abdomen off separately, so posting 4 pics.
