And another one - this one sufficiently alien to myself that it seems inevitable that someone better informed should recognise it. I can only assume that the family doesn't extend down to South Africa (alternatively that touting Picker, Griffiths and Weaving as a Comprehensive guide to South African insects should warrant a lawsuit over false advertising).

Location: Chongwe District, Lusaka Province, Zambia

Habitat: amongst rushes on an ornamental pond, within a large ornamental garden surrounded by dry scrub and low intensity farmland.
