Thanks for the fast reply Nikita, I found it about 13km inland on a construction site sand inside oak forest. about 150-200 above sea lavel. Does this fly usually exist in such environments? |

Yes, sand with some scanty vegetation. More often near water source. In Senegal I used some water to attaract its on sandy site. Also sea beach sandy plaj. Also sandy site for child playing... As far North as South Turkey. Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 03-11-2007 22:11 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
