Hello, sunny afternoon with 18 °C today, many flies on the wing. Unfortunately I have only one photo of this one. Not so small, 9-10 mm. On treetrunk in our garden (northwest Germany). Can it be Protophormia terraenovae? 960x960 pixel-version: http://insektenfo...tID=207573 Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [156.65Kb] Edited by Juergen Peters on 08-03-2015 21:32 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

At latitude 52 N you have near-summer weather. Meanwhile at latitude 42 N in America this week is forecast to have 36 consecutive hours over 0 C for the first time in over a month, the snow is still 60 cm deep, and not even the early-rising Pollenia are flying. http://www.nohrsc...;region=us |

Protophormia terranovae seems right.
Stephane. |

Must have been awful... The winter here was not very hard this year (but harder than last year, when we had no snow at all and nearly never sub zero temperatures). But those 18 °C this afternoon were the highest temperatures this year at all, 5 degrees warmer than the second warmest day (which was yesterday...) and for tomorrow there are 7 degrees less prognosed. However, today there were many flies on the wing, many Phaonia, many Pollenia sp., Neomyia cornicina and Eristalis tenax, but by far most numerous were Muscina levida. Also many butterflies were flying.
