Hello!
This Nematocera I found yesterday at an apple tree on a meadow (Ostwestfalen/Germany). It was about 6-7 mm long and reminded me of a
Sylvicola. But the antennae look odd. Also one wing seems to be deformed. What is it? Thanks in advance!

Well Juergen,
I think you're quite right with Sylvicola.
This one has had problems emerging from the pupa I guess, hence the deformed antennae and wing.
Greetings,

Sylvicola is indeed very numerous here at the moment (even more than at other times).
