Hi,
Could this fly be Chrysopilus auratus female? It sits on a stinging nettle leaf in a Berlin wood near Mueggelsee lake. The photo was taken on June 30.
Thanks for information, Sundew

Yes. However, present day name should be Chrysopilus cristatus.

Many thanks, Paul. I was not sure which name was the younger synonym.
