Hi,
Here is another fly seen on Rugia Island close to the shore recently. It is a Bibio, and though the photo is a bit dark it recalls B. femoralis of thread http://www.dipter...d_id=20163. There is a somewhat pear-shaped first tarsomere of the hind leg, and black tips of hind tibia as well as of first and second tarsomeres of the hind legs. So do you agree with this ID?
Thanks, Sundew

Thanks to both of you for the unexpected reaction to this old thread! It is always nice to get a confirmation, no matter when. The difficulty is to find it :D
Best wishes, Sundew
