This was in Iceland, where the only 3 bibionids on the list are
Bibio nigriventris, Bibio pomonae, Dilophus femoratus
But comparing to Falk's Flickr accounts (
https://www.flick...177517531/)
.... this seems it must be B.longipes, which would be new for Iceland it appears.
Can anyone confirm?
Found in Kopavogur, Reykjavik, Iceland - October 2021
By the sea
Thanks!

Interesting. A first for Iceland then perhaps.
Many thanks!

It is an Holarctic species, so occurrence on Iceland makes total sense.
