I can upload a photo of it.

Dont have a photo to hand but will add one if no-one put a pic of it up.

ok t'was a strange little beasty, sitting on top of my car yesterday, some sort of wasp looking thing about the length of the tip of my index finger say 20-25mm, the wing shape from above were like a drawn heart shape but the pattern of a normal fly (translucent with black veins), it had a long nose, black and cream striped body about 1mm diameter and the tip of its abdomen was red, had legs about same length of its body and a tiny head in comparison to its body along with two big black eyes.

Any ideas??

Now I'm not a scientist by profession, but I did go to the Natural History Museum when I was 8.




It sounds very much like you have encountered a Golden Retriever.
