I'd say not native to the UK. Can you catch one and take it to Glasgow Zoo (I assume there is one)

Stig, you should be used to seeing strange things lying next to the river by now :biggrin:

Glad it settled your mind and let you have a good night sleep;)

Yes, and to take it even further, probably of the Needle/Willow flies which belong to the Leuctra genus.
