Hello! This 3-4 mm fly visited the light tonight in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany). I have never seen one with such large eyes. Reminds me of pictures of Pipunculidae in my books, but I'm not at all sure. Can somebody give me a hint? Thanks!

Hello, Nikita! Nikita Vikhrev wrote: It is the most Brachycera-like Nematocera - Simulidae Just one minute ago I had put in the thread in my forum as a third possibility: male Simuliid...  . You were a little bit faster than me, putting it here, too... Many thanks!
