Well i have seen it all now :lol: but what is this, was only about 3mm in length. found earlier in my garden on a bush.

Is there somewhere online i can look insects up?

just googled 'wierd fly' and came up that this is in the family of tingidae or a lace bug.

cool bug, I have seen a few Spear Thistle Lace bugs but they are not as pretty as this one.
