 Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 14/05/2024 Altitude : 41 m - Taille : 3 mm maxi Réf. : 342711  Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 14/05/2024 Altitude : NR - Taille : 3 mm maxi Réf. : 342729  Oryctes : France : Lille : 59000 : 14/05/2024 Altitude : NR - Taille : 3 mm maxi Réf. : 342730 Hello, I found this amazing little fly, black and very thin, on a leaf at ground level, in a small public park in Lille (North, France). It was May 14, 2024. This part of the park was not very bright and the quality of the photos suffered. I think it is the genus Dolichocephala in the family Empididae. Perhaps more of a male based on the appearance of the end of the abdomen. On LMDI there is hesitation between Dolichocephala irrorata and Dolichocephala oblongoguttata, with a preference for the second species mentioned. What is your opinion on this subject ? Thanks in advance. Dominique |

Likely to be guttata or oblongogutta
