March Fly on Mushrooms

Some small mushrooms in a Dorset Wildlife Trust nature reserve near Corfe Mullen in Dorset. The fly is a March Fly (Bibio marci), sometimes known as a St.Marks Fly, because they swarm over grassland in Spring (St.Mark's Day is 25th April). This is a male fly, identifiable by its large eyes. Apparantly, these flies do not eat, so they must have a short life-span!

I've had a cold these past few days. Still, I've managed to work most of the days, which is actually a bit of a bummer.
