Hello,
thanks for the great website! This is my first thread and I have to apologize for any issues that might occur with it.
Could anyone help me with an ID of this Scathophagidae? I found it in our garden on Nordstrand, Germany, sitting on our car (20/06/2023). With the key of Stuart G. Ball for British species I somehow landed at Conisternum decipiens. Is this correct or might it be another species?
Many thanks and best regards!
Armin Rose
