27th July.... Darter.

The Ruddy Darters that have been emerging from the pond recently I now think are Common Darter. Have just read that Ruddy darter have all black legs where a Common Darter’s legs have a yellow strip along the outer edge and I think mine have the stripe.... confusing.
A tiny species, the larva just over a centimetre long.
