This morning on my wall some black Bibionidae. One was slightly different. A picture from the side reveiled a large snout, which brings me into the Empididae. However it is entirely black and has extremely hairy legs, especially the femur. I haven't been able to identify it yet, so help appreciated. Photographed resting on a wall today in the eastern part of the Netherlands in my garden. Adjacent to a mixed woodland on poor sandy soil.   |

Only one likely candidate: Empis ciliata. A female in this case.

Paul, just one more question. Is it rare in Holland? According to http://users.skyn...liegen.htm it is in Belgium. |

It is rather uncommon, mainly found in the area of the main rivers (Rijn, Waal, Maas).
