Is it me or is this early? Either way it's a gorgeous photo!

Many thanks Dave. I also thought it was St Marks day they came out, maybe its just the females as there were lots of males but not a single female.

This is probably not B. marci, but another Bibio...like johannis. The orange legs are not correct for marci, as far as I know.

Many thanks, looking through other images and literature, I think you are probably right.
