Hi Eric That is a nice surprise ! It is a female Chaetoptilia puella ! Tschorsnig and Herting give as German localities Rheinland-Paltz, Baden-Wurrtemberg and Oberlausitz. But maybe the species is heading north due to climate change ? Theo |

Thank you very much Theo! Many species are heading north - in July I found female and male of Isodontia mexicana, which seems to follow Oecanthus pellucens, who brings Italian flavour to the Franconian night since 2023. Chrysomya albiceps is established since 2023 here, too! Greetings, Eric |
