:D the same habitat of the famous CYRTUS GIBBUS. I will take photos of the habitat soon (i hope tomorrow). But it has Raphanus raphanistrum, Foeniculum vulgare (where I found 3 Dalmannia), Pinus spp., Quercus sp., Vinis vitifera, lots of Rumex spp.; some Cynara sp. (without flower yet). It is a protected place in a valley with many Pinus spp.. It is rare to feel the wind.

Also I found 3 MYOPA PICTA today! Hooray! :D This fly is awesome! It has the most elegant flight I've ever seen. Very sinuous and fast. I will show photos them more later. ;) It is a "monster".
Yesterday when I arrived here in final of the afternoon I took my In?s and we went to the field. She caught RIvellia syngenisae. After 10 minutes in the field she wanted to come back. :| We found one very strange fly, maybe a sciomyzid, with full dark wings! I pinned it, and hopefully I will show photos of it too.
