Hello!

This only 5-6 mm small fly I found yesterday near the forest (Ostwestfalen/Germany). It reminds me of a male Bibionid (especially the abdomen), but somehow doesn't look like the other ones I know.

I think it is a Dilophus febrilis.

Dilophus febrilis has two distinct generations yearly: early spring and late summer.

Yes, I had read that, but up to now I nearly exclusively had found this species in summer. The spring generation seems to be much rarer here.
Best regards,
Jürgen

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
