Hello,
There are presently many
Bibionidae of different species here in Burgundy.
The most common and biggest one is this one, which I think is
Bibio marci.
(Saint Apollinaire, Burgundy - 14 mm long for female, male not measured)
And here is the detail of fore tibia of some female :
Can you confirm
B. marci, or are there similar species that can't be distinguished with such photos ?
Thanks for your help ! ;)

Hello Benoit,
I think you are right with Bibio marci!
It is the only very big Bibionid which fly in very big numbers in spring!
Greetings,
