Hello!

Temperatures around the freezing point outside. So it is more comfortable to take photos in the kitchen... Cool This beauty I just found there some minutes ago (northwest Germany). With the bare eye it was just a tiny (2 mm) dark fly, but under the macro lens it looks really impressive Grin. Is an ID possibly? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Paul! Does this belong to the "D. repleta group"? I found D. repleta in the gallery rather similar with its spotting, only light brown instead of dark grey.
Best regards,
Jürgen
