Hi Manuel
Nice photos of a female
Lonchaea, It is almost impossible to tell which species it is especially when it comes from southern Spain in early spring - I am sure there are many as yet undescribed species in that area.. If you ever get a chance to catch one I would be delighted to see it !! best wishes ..... Iain http://lonchaeidae.myspecies.info

Thanks Iain ;)
I started very recently with the flies seriously. Be sure (I'm confident) l'll show here interesting things soon.
