Hello!

I have never seen (and did not find it in the gallery) such a featherfooted Empid with an extremely long proboscis. It was only 6-7 mm long, found today in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Thanks for any hints!

Indeed, why not, since it is.

Simply, because I did not know this species... ;). Thanks to you both!
