well Juergen come in the South West of Romania: temperature around -5 and -7 degrees, not to talk about the central of Romania: -15 degrees ;)


I must admit, I don't like the current wet and windy weather (raining instantly for more than two days now at 9-12 ?C), but -1 to -2 ?C and a little snow would be enough for me... ;)

But I can offer an adult Episyrphus balteatus from 19-January from Switzerland (around Bern) here:
