Default What are small black insects flying over pond?

Another strange insect seen this weekend was a larger black fly with two
long dangling legs. They were in hedgerows and repeatedly flew at us
with they freaky legs while walking.


David, these are St Marks flies which are common now around St Marks day.
They seem to be harmless but do bumble into things - including humans!
