Little Snipe Fly (+PiPs)
I captured this tiny fly on the lilac tree in my garden last June................I've only just got round to posing the photos. Better late than never :-)))

Please check out the PiPs for another couple of shots.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend..!!

I thought you might recognise this fly Güni.............and glad you like my photos of it. I'd never seen this variety before so I had so spend a bit of time identifying it.

Thanks for your kind comments and visit my friend. Enjoy the rest of your day, best wishes, Keith.

Thank you very much Roger...........I'm pleased you like it. Much appreciated.

There are hundred of thousands types of fly Roger..........do identification can be difficult. I just look online for UK fly images and hope for the best :-))). This one was quite unusual looking so I found it fairly easily, but most are so similar to each other that it becomes impossible.

I've never seen this fly, it looks a bit nasty and is well named. Wonderful macro shots in the PiPs, Keitj

Keith Burton club has replied to Amelia club
It was a first for me too Amelia....It took me a while to get an ID. As far as I know it doesn't bite humans, even though it looks nasty :-))

Glad you like the photos though...........and thanks for your kind comments.
