I have photos from the above mentioned 2 species, both ID-d here. I think it may be useful to show the difference between them. In Hungary, B johannis is far more common. I think they can be distinguished by the metatarsus, for example. Please correct me if anything is wrong in this! First, habitus of Bibio johannis male: pwalter attached the following image:  [133.67Kb] |

Start collecting femoralis ! It is still missing in my collection, that's why I am so bad in this species. Theo |
