Hi, Here's another Limoniid from our housewall today. It was quite big and did not tremble like the one of the Limoniid 1 thread. It resembles the one that Anne Vibeke posted earlier (http://www.dipter...d_id=11492), only the colours are lighter. Anne's was identified as Metalimnobia quadrimaculata. However, the picture of the species under http://popgen.uni...ulata.html looks rather different... Any comments are gratefully appreciated!

It looks like Limonia (Metalimnobia) sp. |

Many thanks for the confirmation of the subgenus! It is a pity that such nice and common flies are not better known; however, European internet information is rather scarce... Sundew |
