Hello! Is it possible to tell the Haematopota species after these photos? It seems, that only the males come to light at night. All pics taken yesterday in Ostwestfalen/Germany, the first two at night in the garden, the third one at noon at our house.

Hello, Nikita! Nikita Vikhrev wrote: Waiting for Tony, I try. Male Haematopota subcylindrica? Thanks! Rather probable I think. Some days ago Tony Irwin wrote about another one of those, that it might be H. subcylindrica. But the photo was not good enough to be sure.

Hi Juergen, I agree so far. It is a male of either italica or subcylindrica. I cannot tell from the pictures. However, the circumstances and period of flight clearly favour italica. Theo Zeegers |

Thanks a lot (also for your reply on my other Haematopota posting). One year ago I knew only one Haematopota species - pluvialis. And that mostly from the flat of my hand ;-). But these flies are really beatiful (and the males even harmless)!

Hi Juergen I can't add any more than Theo on this one. Except that if you can catch one of these flies and post it to me, we can put a definite name on it.
