 Any ideas on this?
I just rescued it from a spiders web, it seemed to fully recover. About 4.5mm long, taken today South Coast UK.
Thanks Brian V.

 Well, that is to say: a Nematocera (gnat)
It is Bibio lanigerus. See previous contribution under the title of Bibio hortulanus

 Hello Theo,

But what is the difference between B. hortulanus, B. johannis and B. lanigerus? Could you take the time to explain us? You told me about B. johannis having yellow legs. Is it not true for this one?

If I understand what was told, B. hortulanus has black legs. B. johannis black femur and the rest of the leg rather yellowish. And what about B. lanigerus?

 I agree with the principles laid out by Theo in his other post - they highlight the differences betweek johannis and lanigerus. But I am not too sure about that photo - if it was taken with flash the light might be making those hairs reflect the light and look white when in reality they might have been black. Needs a better photo - or a specimen really I think. Wink

 After a second look, I agree with Chris.
It might very be that the flash has fooled me.
B. johannis seems at least as probable as B. lanigerus.


Thanks, Chris

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
