I found this beautiful fly on a mixed deciduous forest (Castanea sativa, Laurus nobilis, Quercus robur, Corylus, Betula, Salix, Prunus, Pinus ...), quite humid but always pleasant temperatures (close to the coast). October 17.

This seems to be a female Agathomyia elegantula, but I wonder if it has been found this far south in Europe before. Interesting! And the pictures are nice too...

Wow! Thank you very much Paul! Wink This area has a climate similar to the SW of France, to give you an idea (wet with mild temperatures, at most a couple of frost per year and the summer is mild, a couple of days at 35 ° C and the rest between 25-30 ° C maximum), is located in the "rainy Spain".

Regards!

It's true Paul, in Fauna Europaea only appear:

- A. antennata
- A. collini
- A. unicolor

I'll have to find more...

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
