Hi,
This fly was sleeping in a stinging nettle leaf in my garden yesterday evening. It should belong to Rhagionidae; can be said more?
Thanks, Sundew

NO, it is Therevidae, Dialineura analis
FIrst antennal segment and darkened crossveins are characteristic.

It's not the first time I mix up these two families :( . I thought Therevidae were much hairier. Nevertheless I am very happy to have a species name - many thanks, Theo!
