Hi Marion, female Bibio hortulanus is correct. It's pleura are black while the similar B. anglicus has red pleura. based on BIBIONIDAE DE LA FAUNE BELGE - Jan Verbeke (Bruxelles) Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

And the wing tip is white in hortulanus, not so in anglicus. Anglicus flies in april, hortulanus in may with hardly any overlap. Theo |
