1. To avoid sending empty thread I found an unidentified Acalyptrate from july, Moscow region. In july I didn't show this image without visible wing venetion. But now I decided that unusual shape of 2-nd antenae segment give some hope on identification.
2. I very hope than my next thread will be in 2-3 janv with some tropical fly from Thailand.
3. Happy New Year to all.
