 Hi all,
What is the probability that this golden-haired moth-fly is Trichomyia urbica? I saw it in the bathroom of a village hotel in Thuringia in mid-July 2018. Help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Sundew

 To me it looks 100% T.urbica, but in Germany also T.parvula has been found and I have no idea how that species looks. For good pictures of urbica see: https://observation.org/soort/info/555949

 Thank you so much, dear Weia! Your tireless efforts on behalf of the Psychodidae are most commendable.

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.
