The attached photo was taken on 1st July 07 in South East England. Basking on a leaf in a hedgerow on the edge of a copsed woodland.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Thankyou

Gordon

Very difficult to tell, difficult to see the details.

The eyes look hairy, if so, it might be Phryxe nemea.

I haven't thought about this before, but is it common that the bristles on the upper part of the face goes like in a zig zag pattern?

The specimen is a female and the bristles you mentioned are not considered to be in 1 row (but in several). That's why we don't look it as an zig-zag pattern.
Matter of how badly you have be educated, as guees
