Hello!

Not just 30 ?C today here in northwest Germany ;), only 3-7 ?C and temporarily snowing while I was on excursion... Nevertheless many Bombylius major flying, every time the sun looked through the clouds...

This 7 mm fly reminds me of Vladimir Davydov's here: http://www.dipter...d_id=12010. Had it also just hatched?

Hi Juergen,

This looks like Anthomyiidae to me.., and it is perhabs Egle sp.

greeting, Robert

Thanks! I was thinking of Anthomyiidae, too, but was not sure.
