14.05.21, Germany south west, wet meadow. Perhaps B. reticulatus or B. johannis? Mtfyfe attached the following image:  [58.43Kb] Edited by Mtfyfe on 13-01-2022 21:28 |

Happy new year Lars, I'll try it: The wings are yellowish/brownish which excludes reticulatus and johannis. If the halteres are black (I'm not sure), it could be a female lanigerus which lost most of it's hair. Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Things are never simple in female Bibio, do a forum search to find very extensive coverage of the subject. But wing venation does suggest reticulatus and the date supports this view (unless it is from higher altitudes) Theo |

Thank you Eric and Theo, obviously that is not easy. I would slightly more follow Theos argument and leave it with a cf. Thanks again Lars |
