martinlucasDescription
On a Lupinus perennis leaf in a large colony. On a little sand dune, it was a reasonable match for the sand there. It looks a bit like a tiger fly, but the head shape seemed off somehow. Fairly small, maybe 4mm. It was associated with what appeared to me to be a breeding flight aggregation of Grapholita tristrigana moths -- possibly a predator of them?
