Trimicra pilipes

The wings have a dark, brownish appearance, and the legs are hairy.

Often around lakes and ponds.

It has a short flight period and can be seen in late springtime.

The larvae live in mud at the edges of ponds/lakes ... in the 'draw-down zone' - the part that gets exposed in the summer ... or at the edge of a reservoir when the water gets used.

It is widespread but not well recorded in Britain.

Uncommon in our area - there are few records from Leicestershire and Rutland.
