This fly was "sunbathing" on an open sandy embankment in a bilberry-rich pine forest; 14.05.2022 (Lüneburg, eastern Niedersachsen, Germany). Jann Jann Wuebbenhorst attached the following image:  [294.6Kb] Edited by Jann Wuebbenhorst on 26-05-2022 17:16 |

Hi Jann, I think you are right - maybe that female was looking for a place to lay some eggs
