A few small flies were swept around the edge of the bay and the pond margin.
Leptocera fontinalis and
Lonchoptera lutea were featured along with the ephydrid
Parydra quadripunctata.
However, new to me and the second location for Fife was
Opacifrons humida (as NBN and the key but in the new British list
Pseudocollinella humida). This is a sphaerocerid which is so dusted it's almost olivaceous. It has prominent pre-sutural acros and three pairs of DCs.
