Hello,

These animals flew into a window pane of a building in Austria, Carinthia on August 10, 2023.
There was a light source nearby.

Which group do they belong to and can they be identified further?

Hello Heiko, it belongs to the Ceratopogonidae, it's a male and I guess it could be a Forcipomyia brevipennis.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Hello Eric,

wow, I didn't think you could identify the animal so precisely.

Thank you so much, Eric!
Best regards, Heiko

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
