First warm day in Moscow. I red about this fly, but never met it. Am I right that it is Protophormia terraenovae? 9-10mm, on tree bark. Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [123.95Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

It really looks like Protophormia terraenovae - I've met it several years ago and then it was first published record from Lithuania  Although later I've found several old specimens in museum.

Thank you Andrius. I didn't meet this fly because last spring I didn't interested Diptera yet, but according literature it have to be very common. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
