Hi Alison
Are you sure this is Porrostoma rhipidium?

Yes. It doesn't have black markings on its wings and looks the same as Porrostoma rhipidium (Long-nosed Lycid (Net-winged) beetle) on 25 Nov 2019

It seems quite small to me, and there are lots of species of Porrostoma. See:

The local species all look much the same.
