Hello Phil, thank you much for the correction. I have never heard about this family. If I look in the gallery, there seems to be one rather commen species - Scenopinus fenstralis, which look very similar to my. Can someone confirm or correct this? Greetings, Michael |

Hello, it seems, that in the region (southern germany, northern austria), there are only two Scenopinus species - S. fenestralis and S. niger, of which the latter has black wings and black legs. So it is rather certainly S. fenestralis. The name window flies was absolutely correct here. I found it on the window of our hotel. Greetings, Michael |
