Messingham’s Buglife

Bumped into an Entomologist from Buglife surveying insects at Messingham today - a mind of information but unfortunately all of which went over my head!  However I did id the following female Black-Tailed Skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum)  drying in the sun and a lonesome Tiger Beetle (Cicindela campestris) - he on the other hand had a list of insects as long as your arm, one of which was a fly which he wasn’t expecting this far north and which he was quite excited about, if only I could remember its name!
