Pond Bug, ID

[velocette]

I rescued this from the pond this morning and none of my simple crib sheets can ID it. It's still drying itself by the net as I type. Any information would be interesting.

Looks like a Daddy Long Legs a.k.a Crane Fly to me.

PS caught one in the house last night, ejected this morning.

Many thanks we had a dragon fly in the kitchen yesterday which seems to have gone this morning. Our last cat, a real ratbag used to eat them and could catch them in flight. He also used to chase them to the top of the kitchen units covering himself, and everything else in dust before extraction.
