5 May 2007, The Netherlands, Dwarsgracht. In my database as T. autumnalis, but is this possible in may? Perhaps an other species? Klaas Klaas attached the following image:  [136.57Kb] |

May is fine for T autumnalis. I've recorded them in May and your specimen looks like T autumnalis to me.

I agree. the fifth of may is very early, though. A new record. Congratulations. Theo |

By the way Klaas, since you appear to be living in the Wieden_area: be end of April - beginning of May on the lookout for Hybomitra. Those are likely to be H. lurida, very early species (to Tabanidae-standards, that is). Theo |
