Sieve-winged Snailkiller (Coremacera marginata)

One of the things I focus on when I'm out and about are wooden fences in the sun, which appear to be magnates for many an insect.

Yesterday, on a single wooden fence, I found two flies (of which this gloriously named fly was one) I'd never seen before, and a number of dragonflies, within the space of a few feet and a few minutes.
