This is a Cleg-fly (Haematopota pluvialis) about 10mm long and dull grey . The females are bloodsuckers often leaving an infected bite on humans and livestock (strangely the males live on nectar and plant juices). It flies silently and is often called a 'horse fly'.

Petite Puzzle: World's Smallest Rubik's Cube
A puzzle fan has made the world's smallest Rubik's cube measuring just 10mm wide - the size of a finger nail.
Computer programmer Evgeny Grigorev, 32, spent one month designing the pieces before having them laser cut to order on special plastic by an online company.
Evgeny can solve a normal Rubik's cube in about a minute, but needs a little bit more time for his tiny cube - completing it in just under five minutes.
He said: "I've always been a fan of the Rubik's cube, even when I was a boy.
"I had experimented making puzzles in the past and thought it would be really fun to make the world's smallest cube.
"I thought about it for a while and then started to put some three dimensional drawings together.
"The difficult part was designing all the pieces so it could be put together, would work and not fall to pieces because it's so delicate."
Evgeny, who is married and from Cheboksary, Russia, now has plans to make an even smaller cube and break his own record.
He said: "At the moment it's difficult to make one even smaller because the technology isn't there to do so, but as soon as it is I've got drawings in place to make it happen."
