Hi flyforum, Seperately, but in each area I found these two Dilophus sp. The typically black wings (by female!), suggest that this is Dilophus febrilis. But perhabs there are more look-a-like Dilophus with black wings flying around? place: Amsterdam forest date: 4-05-2008 size: 8-10mm Male: Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [160.66Kb] Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

NO. Dark wing is always female febrilis. Theo |

Thank you Theo, for your time and reaction  Female is Dilophus febrilis, the male (last picture) can not be identified as Dilophus febrilis for 100% I think? But it was in the surrounding, so it is likely.. Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 04-05-2008 21:16 Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Males Dilophus are very difficult. However, febrilis is very common, and all others are restricted in space and time in the Netherlands. Start looking end of may for D. femoratus in the dunes ! Theo |
