Re: Waiting for the sun
David,
Great capture, it's a species that comes within the common name of 'critters'
I saw your superb close-up of the fly in the competition for the first time yesterday, amazingly close !

Re: Waiting for the sun
It's a fly, David!
Looks roughly like one of the Mosquito family (Culicidae) but that is just a guess. And there are several alternatives.
In the UK, Culiseta annulata and Trichocera annulata (Winter Gnat) appear possibly similar. But they are something of a specialist subject.
