Hello Forum, this fly is from May 2nd 2008. It was on a leaf of Holcus lanatus when I found it. For a better photo shooting, I placed the (not flying) fly on my jacket. Locality: Hagen, (NRW, Germany), 175 m above sea level, in the area of an artificial alder marshland. I think, it should be one of the Bibionidae. Right? Is a closer ID possible?

NO Empis ciliata, ... often taken for the Bibionidae. So you are not the first in this mistake. Note the long rostrum. Theo |

Hello Theo, thank you for correction. Is it a female? Josef |

For that, you'll need an Empis expert. Theo |
