Hello!

I'm quite sure one of you identied this dark blue fly some time ago in another forum, but I can't find it anymore. The photograph was taken this week in Ostwestfalen/Germany at a wood's edge. Thank you in advance!

You may be right that we already have seen this one in other forums but there also is a similar one in this forum. You specimen a probably species of Lonchaea. The other one is here.

The photograph is of a female Lonchaeid, given the time of year it is probably not Setisquamalonchaea fumosa as in the previously posted photograph but a Lonchaea species - one of the group with all black tarsomeres which includes the common Lonchaea chorea - they really need looking at under a microscope to identify them to species. .........
