Paul, can it be a Crumomyia pedestris, as it is the only one in our Dutch speciessystem...?

Thanks for your reaction!

Hedy

Paul, thank you for mentioning all the species, which are more than one... ;)

Point is that I usually find the common one flies, so if Crumomyia pedestris is the only one that's found in or system, I just may think: that is the one I found too, sometimes that is to make life easy.. :)

But...in this case I'm convinced and I may ask a Crumomyia spec. to the administrator.

Regards and a smile,
Hedy
