Has anybody seen oviposition affregation of Atherix ibis, so called ibis fly one of the strendgest phenomenon in Diptera?. Not long time ago, I discovered that one my pictures contains a dried out aggregation the ibis fly (a picture was taken in August and they aggregate in June). This was taken in the middle of 90-ties in cental Poland on a trunk of an alder leaned above water. I was there one year ago to see and no trace of neither recent nor past aggregations....

Well, back in July of 1997 I've seen such gathering of Athericidae (don't know what species was it) in Southern Lithuania. The heap of flies was also on the trunk of tree leaning over the stream. And this is the only time I've seen such a thing...
