Dear forum,

I took a picture of this fly in my garden today.
It has smaller eyes and is less "hairy" than the Bibio lanigerus I photographed earlier today. Is it a different Bibio species?
All of a sudden they are abundant in my garden!

Best regards, Niek

Dear Theo,

Thank you. Quite a difference between male and female.

Best regards, Niek

Funny to see how those females (I posted a B. johannis recently) have such big fore femora.
