This male was found in E-Hungary, forest. Smaller, around 8 mm. Last Year I tried to catch one on the same spot, but couldn't. They were there for only one week also in March and than perished for one year. I only saw males. Now I'm happy that I could cathch and photograph one Smile

Bibio johannis male

Dark haired, very dark stigma and often (in Central Europe) femora reddish.

Very very common.

Sorry, but picture 2 is Bibio femoralis, not B. johannis. Notice the pear-shaped first tarsomere of hind leg, which is characteristic for thisd species. The black tip of hind tibia, and black tips of first and second tarsomeres of hind legs are also generally present in femoralis. I am not sure that picture 1 is the same species, but it might be.
See also my post to the picture 2 by jaurinum posted on 19th March.

Thank You, the photo shows the same specimen, so B femoralis. Thanks!

Interesting.

I'm not familiar with femoralis.
I see your point on the hind metatarsus in the second pic.
