Hello,

last week I saw these flies everywhere on the sand of the beach in Zeeland (netherlands), obviously attracted to the remains of algues and crabs. Which fly is this? (size about 8mm)

Thanks,
Michael

I think it is Fucellia, Anthomyiidae.

Hello Nikita,

Thank you for your answer. What I read about Fucellia fits very good.
