A couple of fungus gnats I pulled off their pins (and, sadly, apart) which had been languishing since September. Both came up trumps - 
Boletina nitida (which I misidentified and was corrected!) and 
Mycetophila unitotata. Both, it goes without saying, are new to me.
I'll keep on at this site and see whether it can make 2000. I already have a bunch from last year, including another fungus gnat which is probably new to Scotland but was taken in 2016 (
Megophthalmidia crassicornis).
Only 9 to go for Seth now. Come on!
