Name please?

Had a trough of Pea shoots germinating nicely. Then the tips started going brown & withering.

Saw this a day or so ago but thought no more of it.

Till today. Watched it scavenging all over the surface - Vermiculite - not scared of me - nosing quite deep in.

Can this have been the culprit? It's longish & thinnish.

Well, something's ruining my shoots - & also the new growth on the indoor Parsley nearby.

It's too slim for a Blowfly. And too unconcerned!

Could it be Leather Jackets ( crane fly ) they are usually active in September.

Nice tries. But:

1. Def not Daddy Long Legs.

2. Sciriad? A bit underweight??

TIM. The more i look at this post the more i think that the fly which i think is a Black Fly has nothing to do with your problem. Perhaps you should have a rake around the top one inch of the soil for some Leather Jackets.
