Hello everyone, is Zodion species correct? And if so, could it be cinereum? Length about 1 cm, maybe a little bit smaller. Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), nearby deciduous forest (oak, Fagus ...), July 12th, 2026, about 70m NN; the fly was attracted by light.
