Poecilolycia vittata of the Lauxaniidae. I hope you collected it as I have seen only one Dutch specimen so far...

I wonder if the yellow dots can be aecidia from some Pucciniomycete, they produce some substance that attracts insects.

Hello Paul and mossnisse,
Thank you very much for your reactions!
Paul, I never collect insects as I think they should mate with a partner
to produce more of the kind. But more importantly I didn't realise to have a special fly until today. I succeeded to have a nice picture though...
And last but not least: I don't know how to do it, as it flies away before I finish taking pictures.
Mossnisse, I don't know about the yellow spots, I see them quite often,
but pay no attention to it.
I have a picture that it is trying to eat it.
Regards,
Hedy
