Scientists are examining a grass fly found on a field next to the main road out of South Bristol that one expert said could be an entirely new species never seen before.
The fly was captured last summer as part of a survey of two fields to the west of the A38 in Highridge, which is part of Bristol’s last working farm - Yew Tree Farm.
Scientist David Gibbs was asked to survey the fields between the farmhouse and the main Bridgwater Road next to the Computershare offices by farm owner Catherine Withers, and said what he found could be an entirely new genus of fly.
