Today (23 sept) I was lucky enought to collect several specimens of O. punctella. As a result of that I have two questions.
1. Rather to Kahis than Jan. In NNW part of Moscow region O. punctella is much more common than O. florum. In NNW of Europe it is the same?
2. Rather to Jan than Kahis. Among flies collected today are two males. I've just realized that it is first males of O. punctella I've ever seen. Do males is rare in O. punctella.
