Today I rescued a large red damselfly from the polytunnel. It sat on my hands for ages.

Found this little fella in my Chilli tunnel.

   

After looking through my books & the web. I couldn’t find it.

So I sent the photo here

I got a response very quickly. It’s a parasitic tachinid fly, Tachina grossa.
