Hello all,

I photographed this fly on the 1st May in my garden, I have looked through the gallery but haven't seen it, or maybe I missed it.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.

Thanks, Steve

For some reason the image is not attaching ?

The image is viewable via picassa here :

Thanks.

It's a Hybotidae dance fly.
