Has anybody seen oviposition affregation of
Atherix ibis, so called ibis fly one of the strendgest phenomenon in Diptera?. Not long time ago, I discovered that one my pictures contains a dried out aggregation the ibis fly (a picture was taken in August and they aggregate in June). This was taken in the middle of 90-ties in cental Poland on a trunk of an alder leaned above water. I was there one year ago to see and no trace of neither recent nor past aggregations....
