Hello,

in the moment here in western germany there are very many Bibio marci. But up to last weekend I have never seen a specimen with its wings open. So I am not sure here. Is this a male Bibio marci? (Length: about 10mm)

Thanks,
Michael

Bibio marci is completely black haired and the wing venation is different.

This is interesting one, completely light haired with completely black tibiae: B. ferruginatus.

Thank you for your answer. I should have photographed some more of these. But this one now is for the gallery.
