Another very small fly seen at Scatsta Airport scuttling around at a lit window. Any idea from the antennae what it might be? Size about 2-3mm-ish.
Not very hopefully Roger.
PS. Apologies for crap photo's-difficulty factor of 10 to get proper shots.

Might be a Cecidomyiid, antennae look like they might be beaded and the wing venation looks pretty reduced.

Thanks for that Gordon. I've only got 1 Cecidomyiid on my Checklist which is Lestremia cinerea but I better not tick my list yet, as I'll get a bollocking from someone -AGAIN...
