 Hello,
In the south of France on April 8, 2025.
The female's body is 7 mm long. The male's is about 10 mm long.
I'm thinking it belongs to the Scathophagidae family, but I'm not sure.
Thank you for your help with the identification.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
