by a tiny lake in forest near copenhagen july12th.
Noticed a very delicate row of black hairs (I think) ventral on front tibia (if it matters)
Has it a chance?
Thanks in advance, Ole

Empidoidea with raptorial fore leg and very long fore coxa = Hemerodromiinae. I think this is the female
Phyllodromia melanocephala.
Platypalpus has mid leg enlarged.

Correct. I collected it myself in southern Denmark earlier this year.
