Hi, found this fly today (27. Oct. 2018) in Austria, Niederösterreich, Ober-Danegg

It was trapped indoors when i found it. We have a lot of deer in the area which often strides through the garden.

I estimate the body length to be about 3-4 mm - full length about 8 mm.

According to Pareys book of insects - the wings fall of when it has attached itself to a host, like deer, boar, fox or badger.
They hatch in the Fall (now) and let them self fall from trees unto a potential host.

Thanks

It's the right time for Lipoptena cervi now! Fauna Europaea says it is absent in Austria, but distribution data are incomplete in several cases, so I have no problem with this species. Another one, L. fortisetosa, might be present too, but is smaller and has much less setae on the thorax (https://www.zobod...7-0249.pdf).
Regards, Sundew

Theo: sorry, but in the linked paper it is stated that winged specimens can be found from May until end of November, and the species is supposed to be multivoltine...
Per: there are 7 pictures of L. cervi in the gallery Wink

Lipoptena cervi is definitely present in Austria, at least in Vorarlberg
