9.2.2025 in our garden waste bin, about 4mm. Rheinbach near Bonn/Germany, 210m above sea level, huge forest close by. Is this Lotophila atra? Thank you so much, Jörg

Too shiny. I think, Crumomyia sp.
Best regards,

Hi Jörg,
for me, the most likely is Crumomyia fimetaria because of the shiny scutellum. Besides C. fimetaria, i also find C. roserii in my garden at this time of the year but this can be ruled out here.

regards mats

Many thanks to both of you - Crumomyia fimetaria sounds good to me!
