Hello! Is this 4 mm fly from yesterday on Tanacetum vulgare (Ostwestfalen/Germany) a Lonchaeid? If so, I think further identification is impossible (?).

yes! A lonchaeid. Perhaps Lonchaea sp. Here they are rather common. Usually we can find them in swarming.  |

Hello, Jorge! jorgemotalmeida wrote: yes! A lonchaeid. Perhaps Lonchaea sp. Here they are rather common. Usually we can find them in swarming. Thanks for confirmation! They are not rare here, too, but I have always only seen them as single individuals in the lower vegetation.
