@StevenFalk1 Cheers Steven, brilliant photos.

[Gary’63 @GaryWVC76]

@StevenFalk1 is this Phaonia vallida as a couple of apps suggest, or are the id points not clear enough here to be sure? I didn’t catch it, photos only. The maps in the new book don’t show it in Glasgow. It was on a sunny tree trunk, plenty of Ivy and trees about.

Hi @bugsymac1, I’ve had a go at keying out a stonefly, I think it’s a female Nemoura cinerea. Can you verify from these photos?
Cheers

@rlewington2 @bugmanjones Wow! Looks fantastic Richard, what an accomplishment.

Can anyone ID these Jellyfish from Firth of Clyde today - Very small, might be young. Obsidentify can’t make it’s mind up. #jellyfish # marine wildlife.

@StevenFalk1 @DipteristsForum Not on facebook Steven, but I’ll get my wife to try. Cheers.

@StevenFalk1 @CRStipula I’ve managed to use the key in the Stubbs book, and it keys to albimana, and Obsidentify ( which I don’t rely on, but it’s nice when it agrees) gave albimana 100% with 2 different photos.
Guess I’ll need to give some thought about FB after avoiding for years😊. Thanks Steven👍

[Gary’63 @GaryWVC76]

⁦@StevenFalk1⁩ ⁦@CRStipula⁩ I managed to get another specimen (I think) from same place( a few flying around the pond). Wings look like P.albimana, 9mm, but body has no orange? Confused now😊.

[Gary’63 @GaryWVC76]

@StevenFalk1 @CRStipula Not on FB unfortunately.

[Gary’63 @GaryWVC76]

@StevenFalk1 @CRStipula Thanks Steven. Teneral- so thats why colour is different?

[Gary’63 @GaryWVC76]

⁦@StevenFalk1⁩ ⁦@CRStipula⁩ Hi, found this crawling out of my small pond in Glasgow. Wing looks like Ptychoptera minuta, but doesn’t have the black body? Suspect egg laying female. Wing 8-9mm. Can it be ID’d from these photos?

[Gary’63 @GaryWVC76]

@anjulipie @aakashgupta @Eggleston1337 Naw, Chuck beat him to it😊

[Gary’63 @GaryWVC76]

@SectionVR Not a Ben Affleck fan, but The Accountant is a superior movie, where every line of dialogue is important. Maybe an age thing, but Heat and Casino and Ronin are of the same calibre. If you don’t agree, it’s all good.

Music lost another legend this week, Kenny Morris, drummer for Siouxsie and the Banshees on the first 2 albums passed away. Together with John McKay he split from the band during the Join Hands tour in Aberdeen ( the night before I was due to see them in Glasgow). RIP
