A THINGAMEJIG ?

I forgot to include this one in the post last night, Had it in the moth trap about a week ago and cannot identify it from any of my books. So any identification would be appreciated. It was very small and quite lively and just after this shot flew off gracefully into the trees. I think its lovely and maybe it does deserve a post all to its self.

  1. Hi Monty, how did you get the translator onto your blog. I followed the instructions and copied the code,then tried to paste it on 'add your own gadget' but it keeps saying the code is wrong! I am I doing it right. Sue

  2. Lovely clear shot Monty. It looks like a Crane Fly, but I can't find one with antennas like this one has!

  6. Thanks for all the comments folks, yes Dean I also favour a mossie as I have them in one of my books. Same body legs and wing pattern but not with that Antenna System. Being a Radio Ham I would love an Antenna system like that. Sue I am going to leave a comment on your Blog regarding your question.

  9. It's a good clear shot Monty, I wondered about the Winter Gnat Trichocera annulata.
