Hello. Please excuse my ignorance but what is this resting on a Green Hairstreak butterfly. Is it a small Diptera species or an small black ichneumon wasp species. The image was taken in England on Salisbury Plain, biotope chalk grassland.

It's a black fungus gnat (Sciaridae) - tricky from specimens, usually impossible to identify from photos.
