 This Brachycera was found in August 2025 in the Swedish mountains on about +700 meters above sea level Close to a smal creek. Is it possible from this images to come up with something more specific that Brachycera? Wing about 5-7 mm

 Confirmed. It is less known species with the peak occurrence in late summer and early autumn. Only few specimen could be swept, but more or less common in beer traps hung on trees...

 I also collected a number of specimens of this species in a beer trap in the Netherlands. In my case in an oak tree.

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.
