Wow incredibly!
this is Acroceridae, in Belgium! Really nice, I have never encountered them in Belgium before... Truly spectacular.

The species.. I cannot tell right away but no doubt it can be identified. Probably Ogcodes gibbulosus? To be confirmed with literature
Congratulations with the nice found.

Thanks, Jonas.
I had no idea this strange fly was such a special find in Belgium...

Difficult to tell from the pictures, but it might be Ogcodes pallipes. Did you collect the fly?

No, I didn't collect it.
