Does anybody know what this bug is? I had lots of them crawling on my
arm when I came inside from the garden. The photo isn't clear, but

Looks like a thunderfly to me. Don't think they cause irritation (of the

There are a few thousand different sorts. Some of them do cause skin
irritation but they are quite unusual in the UK.
