Zaira cinerea

Ohh, nice - is that fairly common there? I have one from the UK that I really must check against the Central European key because it just doesn't ring true somehow. Something to do this afternoon, over lunch :)

Not rare, even I have some before. Thank You Jaakko :)

it is very rare over here in Western Europe.

Not rare, but rather local in South Finland. Clearly preferes warmer sites, but otherwise no type habitat to my knowledge. I´ve gotten this from a sand pit (usually small specimens), a powerline and a much moister field edge.

I caught one a few years ago in a Malaise trap ... never seen it since though so they must be very rare here. I even re-detted it too just now to make sure it was correct :D The habitat was flower-rich grassland on chalk with mixed woodland bordering the fields.
