Hello,
this small (ca. 3.5 mm)
Phasia visited Marguerite flowers on a meadow near a forest (northwest Germany). (Sorry, the photos are not very good. It was windy, and the fly was very quick...)
BTW: Nearby also
Ectophasia crassipennis and Tachina fera were still active (sunny, 21 °C). But I'm afraid, the nice weather is over now...
