| |  Strange ant/wasp-type fly...
Hi all,
Found this tiny fly in our garden today, less than 10mm long... any ideas as to what it is?
Many thanks, Ian

Perhaps one of the Ichneumons.

I've been doing a little more research into this and it could well be Apechthis rufata.
Do any of you experts in this field agree?
Many thanks,
Ian
