 Hi

I have found one athericid in the same spot where I saw the Cephalodromia (check the second photo of the habitat in this thread: http://diptera.in...d_id=23643) but the athericid escaped. Then I went in the direction of the Nave de Santo António... and stopped near a waterfall. This Ibisia sp. approached to the my blue car Peugeot (when I was trying to attract tabanids - didn't see none.)... and it was a piece of cake to spot this beauty again! This "tell" us that the water around is in very good condition! Smile But so far I didn't the Blephariceridae - another fly very sensible to pollution.. and present in Serra da Estrela: http://diptera.in...d_id=14825 )

 It looks as if its feeding attempts left some nice scratches in the car. Grin

I think you will find these come as a Non-Optional Extra with Peugeot cars. Grin

I see you have a car almost the same colour as my Ford Focus Jorge....we should have got Silver-Grey like LordV, he used to send in loads of photo's of things on his car, much easier to get proper exposure with camera. I put in a photo of a Hybotidae Hilara sp sitting on my car a short time ago, couldn't get proper exposure on my camera due to the Blue background Frown.

EDIT; How Sad is that...Jorge has Photoshopped the scratches off his car in SECOND PHOTO !!!!!!!!!!!GrinGrin

Grin


yeah! But I managed to expose this properly. It is not a task easy, though.

Next time I will buy an electrical car... I took a note: buy a grey car. Grin

discard the red and imagine a more greyish car. Grin lol

 Hmm, our blue Peugeot has not yielded any scratching Athericidae so far. Is that option only implemented in the Mediterranean, perhaps?

 Portugal has, at least, over 10 rivers completely unpolluted. You can drink that water safely! Some examples: Rio Zêzere - from Serra da Estrela, the river in the Montesinho Mountain; Rio Sabor and so on. Without very good waters, athericids don't appear simply. Smile

just take a sandpaper and scratch the capot of your Peugeot. Grin Then athericids will appear. 100% guaranteed. Grin

I have an annual haircut (whether I need it or not, done by She Who Must Be Obeyed). If a Hairdresser depended on me for making a living, he would be lucky to be a Pedestrian. Pfft

I don't think She Who Must Be Obeyed would think so.....luckily she is at work at the moment.
I am on three weeks break......nice and sunny, but too windy for photography, hence a day for El Supremo of The Waffling Garbage Club to get in a bit of practise....Wink.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
