Fly away home

It was James who saw it. When he came to the house last month he and his wife Cathy were looking at the garden pond while I got ready. Jumping about on the lilly pads were a host of Poecilobothrus nobilitatus – catchy name, yes? It has no common name so I shall call them Green white-tipped fly – which just about says it all. Apparently they have not been recorded in this 10km square previously. As James confirmed, I fear that may be more to do with recording than occurrence
