Hello! Although only 11-13 ?C (for tomorrow 20 ?C are predicted) and not constantly sunny, I found the first Bombylius major today here in Ostwestfalen/Germany  .Also, the first Bibio johannis were swarming.

Hello, David! David Gibbs wrote: Bombylius major Thanks for confirmation! Seems to be the only Bombylius species in our region (B. discolor only in south and east Germany). On Saturday I found only this one individual, yesterday (20 ?C) there were already hundreds!
