About Ph. aurigera, for example: http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=3347&pid=14647#post_14647 Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University

See previous contributions in september (Vorden, Soest). Please email me details (locality, date, ...) Thanks Theo Zeegers

Member Location: Georgsdorf, Germany Posts: 485 Joined: 04.10.04	Hi Theo, I took the pictures yesterday 13/10/2006 around 14:00 PM in Ootmarsum close to the Almeloseweg on the hill called Kuiperberg. One tree there is covered with Hedera and the stuff you see in the pictures. I saw just this one male though I looked hard. Funny coincidence: my place of birth is Vorden... Andr

Member Location: Soest, NL Posts: 19244 Joined: 21.07.04	Thanks, I know the place. it is very late in the year, so I'm surprised you have found one male ! I cannot tell what 'the stuff is I see in the picture'. Too much closeup. A Umbellifera (schermbloem)? Thanks Theo
