 Hello,

I collected this fly in the Lago di Serranella Protected Area (CH), Italy, on July 26th 2024. It looks like an Antocha vitripennis to me, but I don't know if there are any similar taxa in the area. Is it possible to confirm or correct this identification?

Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
