Thanks, Johanna and John!

So, all flies, that I thought were Egle are Lasiomma, and the first different one is Egle... :S

The willows of Massachusetts are still dressed for winter

This week we had about 15 °C for two days (for the next weeks cold temperatures and rain are prognosed), and I still wait for the willows to flower, but Brachycera are around in large numbers since February.


Egle should not be flying long before willows flower. They feed on and breed in catkins.
