Anyone know what one of these is?

Picture in here

The correct colour is actually a light brown; this was taken under some cheap LEDs. Span of the wing-cases is about an inch.

I’ve been seeing them about the place for years but never managed to work out what they are, so I’ve been calling them “T flies” for obvious reasons.

I thought someone did recognise it; can’t remember what it was now, though.

I don’t, Hedgers. Are they associated with your pond? You could narrow down your search if just looikg for aquatic flies. Mr Soo is our resident entomologist - he’s visiting his Ma, so I’ll ask him on his return.
Had a grand walk by the River Tyne, this afternoon.

The air has felt ‘wrong’ all day,& the swallows were swooping so low that we knew that summat was on the way

I was at the other end of the campsite yesterday evening,collecting for our lovely Handyman/Jack of All Trades, who has retired

In 2 hours I collected 160 Euros & had 3 glasses of Sekt …:champagne:

My feet have been pretty rubbish today though
