We have a large water butt a few yards from the hedgerow the psychodids lurk in, but maybe more importantly one of our neighbours has a large, sloping garden adjoining ours with about 5 ponds on different levels. I've always thought that his ponds increase the diversity of insects in our garden and we often see dragonflies and other damp/aquatic associated species. Does that info push the ID more towards Clytocerus? Are there any other camera angles that would help with ID? It is a fight to get enough light to get much focus depth, and i don't use flash, but I can try!
