It is Bibio but not marci, in which both genders are black. Maybe B. hortulanus. Others will correct me.

I agree with Gabor but B.hortulanus is just a 'best guess' and your region is likely to have more species than I am used to here. Really we need Theo Zeegers to comment  Can you give some indication of size perhaps? Bibio spp. like marci and hortulanus tend to be larger than species like johannis etc.

Hmm. I doubt it was larger than 7-8 mm. To my knowledge Bibio marci is by far the biggest Bibio in our region so and that one is hardly larger than 10 mm.

I don't have the experience to approximate the correct size....this spring i will try to catch a few specimens and i will photograph them to see what species is it. |
