Two additions to the gallery -
(in addition to one posted in Insects for ID)

Black sedge fly or caddis
possibly Silo nigricornis or S. pallipes but I am puzzled by that long 'snout'. Obseerve also the long banded antennae.
Hatching in localised areas near the side of Fewston Reservoir, Yorkshire, in June.



Small Heath, Coenonympha pamphilus
