Spotted this little guy wandering across my laptop a couple of weeks ago while posting stuff to Diptera.info, so I thought I'd better post him or her off too. Size 3-4mm. Is ID possible?
Regards Roger

Thanks for the ID Phil. I've got just one of those on my checklist, so that makes it L.lutea. Another one bites the dust,only ........to go????

Well, I think this is L. lutea, but only because it appears to have all the right features - not because it's the only species on the Shetlands check-list so far! Pfft
