 Sighted in April 2026 in Germany, Baden-Württemberg at the edge of the forest. Size approximately 8-10mm. Can the fly be identified?

Thank you and best regards,
Bernd

 Hello Helge,
thank you very much for your correction. Could it then be Parasyhrpus punctulatus?

Best regards,
Bernd

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
