Could this be Fannia mollissima? Seen in my garden in West Sussex, UK on 25/04/2021. Many thanks, Dylan evdebs attached the following image:  [97.39Kb] Edited by evdebs on 08-05-2021 14:12 |

Hi Dylan, I think you are right: a male Fannia mollissima (the long, curved hairs under the derrière should make it). Greetings, Eric |

I agree! I'm a big fan of the Fanniidae, though they seem to be an underappreciated family here in the UK. Dylan |
