Hello,

your photo are very nice. Thanks for sharing. I keep meaning to join your forum but i am always so busy. I will get around to it sometime :)

I think that I found Kirbya moerens today, so this will be the first time that i record it. I have to examine it but it is a Tachinid for sure and i suspect Kirbya moerens.

I found strange things today. I found a Wasp Beetle (similar to Clytus arietis), a very interesting Snakefly (Raphidioptera) and a Cimbicid Sawfly (Cimbicidae). The Cimbicidae species landed on my son's arm. I've never seen a Snakefly until today. I saw the Wasp Beetle hiding in a leaf and i thought it was a wasp until i looked at it through the macro lens. Very strange day for me and my Wife. We like to photograph everything. My first passion for nature belongs to birds. I love birds, so i spend alot of time photographing birds. I also study spiders and record them. I never paid attention to insects until a few years ago. I am surprised at how lovely they can be. I really enjoy diptera.
