Hello,

between my pictures of Araneus diadematus I found this photo from august 2007, probably made near Cologne.

What fly is this? Lonchaeidae?

Thanks,
Michael

Do all Lonchaeidae have these knots on the side of the abdomen?

Hello, Michael!

Which knots? Perhaps you mean the hinges of the hind legs, that are visible at the abdomen sides?
Best regards,
Jürgen
