Hello all,
I first thought it was Peleteria rubescens, but somehow, I doubt it now that I have looked closer. Any opinion ?
10 mm approx. Reserve naturelle de Sclaigneaux, Belgium, on sandy soil.
August 7th.
Thanks for your help
Philippe

Thanks for your reply Theo. Now, if you ask for bad photos, I'm your man Wink (I'am having big trouble with my eyesight at the moment, and have almost given up macrophotography untill it's mended) Here is one, very bad indeed, but from a slightly different angle.
There were two individuals sitting in the high grass in a slightly shaded place. The biotope around it is generally a dry heathland, but this is in a kind of hollow.

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
