New Species - St Marks Fly

There have been a lot of these strange looking flies around with their dangly legs and long segmented bodies. It turns out they are St Marks Flies (Bibio marci) and they are called St Marks flies because they appear around St Marks Day (25 April - who knew?). I can't say I have ever spotted them before this year.
