Hello!

If this is not Kirbya moerens (as Theo Zeegers recently indicated, that is a more southern species), what could it be? It was rather numerously sunbathing on leaves at the forest yesterday (northwest Germany). Size about 6-7 mm. I think, it's the same species as this fly two years ago: http://www.dipter...ad_id=1431.

Hello, christoophe!

Thanks, it is obviously the same species. But that is exactly the problem Sad. In an earlier thread Theo mentioned that Kirbya moerens is a more southern species, occuring up to Switzerland, possibly the south of Germany. But these photos I took yesterday in Ostwestfalen, which is 800 km more north, in northwest Germany...

Kirbya moerens was reported north to the line Paris - Aachen.
As given the recent global warming, there is no problem here.
In any case, this is Kirbya moerens.

Many thanks! Then at least since spring 2006 it occurs also 120 km north of that line Smile.

I just realized, this implies we in The Netherlands should have it as well.
Which is great news. Now let's get it.
