Hello forum, Is it possible to identify this fly? I thing it is Bibio lanigerus but I'm not sure. Thanks. ArnovanStipdonk attached the following image:  [56.38Kb] Edited by ArnovanStipdonk on 26-05-2008 21:35 |

Hmm, I don't know for sure, but I get to a similar place in my key but I think the hairs on the thorax look dark, not white as they would be in lanigerus. An alternative might be hybridus but it would be nice to see the specimen because hair colours and vein colours are tricky to judge from a photo  |

That one certainly looks white enough  Strange how just a change of light can have such a dramatic effect. |
