I've seen first Medetera last Saturday (on Alnus). That was a single male on a dead Salix gnawed through completely by Lasius ants and barely standing. The fly tried to find shelter from the strong wind in wood crevices. Dmitry Gavryushin attached the following image:  [128.14Kb] |

I'm not as impudent to think that I can ID this Medetera. But as a game before experts opinion I'll try, my guess - M.borealis. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
