Can anyone ID this one, unable to get any other shots as it was hidden In some greenery in the garden, made me realise I need a shorter Macro Lens, having to shoot macro at 200-300mm isn't always any good.

Just searched it and it is, I thought it was a crane fly but when I looked at just the male I couldn't find it. Thanks

Need to see the markings on the back to make a real judgement call on it.

I don't know who Mark is lol and if that's the case not sure why they disappeared then tag in mods or RTM your post to ask for an answer.

Wow. That was quick. Thanks Alby. Looks like you definitely know your bugs. I have to say this was a lucky find and he/she moved to a nice place on the leaf for me.

Can you give us an idea of size and do you have any more photos showing profile?

Thanks very much, it is indeed a Tenthredo
Edit: Just realised they're so difficult to tell apart it could be any of several of the tenthredo family.

And a damselfly for ID, please. It could be a variation of a common blue but it may be a variable. I didn't know there was one called a variable. :/
