It is a rainy day, so why not trying to make a good quality photo of an Olderbergiella seticerca Papp? I have a pretty good camera and a pretty good objective, yet very poor skills  I can`t make it nicer, sorry friends. rvanderweele attached the following image:  [89.23Kb] ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

BTW, it was collected on very old dogdroppings in Péterhalmi erdő, in Budapest, Hungary on 5th november 1995

Be sure, they all have been checked by Laci himself.

How rare is this species? Was it described from Hungary? Where should I try to find it? Thanks! Walter Pfliegler - Amateur Nature Photographer from Hungary (and molecular biologist) |

As far as I know it is only know from Hungary, but the info I have is pretty old! I have quite some specimens in my collection. I collected all in Budapest. But according to the Magyarország Állatvilága it has been collected in the Bükk, Dobogokő and Nagytétény. I always collected in from the end of October till end of winter. Especially on sunny cold days you can see them on around old droppings. They are brilliant hoverers. It is just fascinating to observe them. Be fast when you see them and catch them, because when they escape, it takes a long time before they return. I saw sometimes 4 or 5 together. ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

Hmm, interesting, I collected almost every Heleomyzids I saw this Autumn (I was active from September until end of November in Bükk mts.) but never saw one. I'll keep on looking for them

You should know where the droppings of the dogs are, or others, and when you come close, approach them very carefully. These little flies are very alert. They escape easily.

Well, I can hardly imagine why the occurance of the species should be limited to Hungary, though the Carpathian basin is, of course, well defined. So I am not surprised that you found it. For years I have been hoping to collect Oldenbergiella's (and Orbellia's) in the Netherlands. To my frustration always in vain. ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |
