I photographed this in Derbyshire yesterday, but have no idea what it might be.

Hello, And what about the rather reddish legs and the rather dark pterostigma? Pierre Duhem |

Difficult to tell, photo is not quite sharp. Reddish tibiae are common in Bibio, and I think the stigma is not as dark as suggested. Given the light hairs on thorax and abdomen, this should be B. lanigerus. Theo Zeegers |
