This Brachycera was found in the Swedish mountains around +700m above sea level mid august 2025. Close to a small creek. Is it perhaps an Empididae? - and if so is it possible to say what subfamily or even genus it belongs to? Wing about 4-6 mm head, thorax and feet are black. olep attached the following image:  [236.77Kb] Edited by olep on 28-02-2026 15:09 |
