Hello, this is another little one <5mm with a very special behaviour: it shook and lifted and turned its little wings - and thus it reminded me of peacock fly behaviour, even though it did not do the whole wheel ;-) Can someone help who is this pretty little one? Found on 17-August-2019 near Worms, Rhineland, Germany, in a nature reserve established in an old limestone quarry on an open meadow with many native flowers, thistles, centaurea, etc. Many thanks and regards, Stella Stella M attached the following image:  [72.21Kb] Edited by Stella M on 20-08-2019 18:45 |

Hello Stella, Sepsidae. Maybe Sepsis punctum? Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Sepsis sp. at best with these images. S. punctum most often has some orange near the base of the abdomen and nearly always has only one pair of dorsocentral setae. The former is clearly not the case, the latter cannot be discerned in the images.
