Mystery bug

I’m in South Oxfordshire at the moment helping out with childcare. My granddaughter called me over to ask what this colourful insect was. I had no idea. After some research…I still have no idea. I’ve never seen one up our way.
Is it a mayfly??

I haven't logged on to 365 for a while (so busy at the moment!) but I just opened it up and this was the first thing I saw... thought I'd comment as I know this one - it's a spotted cranefly, common throughout Britain.

@roachling Wow, thanks Louise. I will let the little one know. Hope you’re ok.

A nice close-up, Lesley. It has pretty iridescent wings. Fav
