I found this rather small Bibio-like fly against one of our outside walls at Leerdam, Netherlands, today. Length appr. 8 mm. Could this be female Dilophus? And if so, could the species perhaps be determined from these photos? Thanks for any help in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [92.22Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

Yes, Dilophus female for sure, the difference with Bibio lays in the end of the fore tibia. In Dilophus there are a lot of smaller spines, in Bibio there is one big hook! Greetings, Gerard Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
