Heureka! I'm sure I've found the male Bibio venosus today - 20 m from the female of 10.05.21. It's in the Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, on Urtica dioica. Greetings, Eric eklans attached the following image:  [38.17Kb] |

Yes, it's an old forest with beech, oak, hornbeam and many others + dead and decaying wood (close to my garden). And the Bibio are mostly on the low vegetation in the same area. Until now: johannis, lanigerus, marci, reticulatus, varipes, venosus (+ later clavipes). Edited by eklans on 19-05-2021 18:18 Greetings, Eric |

Venosus, and also reticulatus, are typical for deciduous forests. So that figures ! Theo |
