 Coastal lagoons, Oristano, Sardinia
25th May 2010, size 16mm
Eyes in life- bright emerald green, 1 faint band
Black antennae, white halteres, dark stripe on sternites suggests Hybomitra expollicata
Neither Fauna Europaea nor Fauna Italia list any Hybomitra sp. for Sardinia, though expollicata would be expected I think.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
