I don't have a key to Bibionidae so wonder if anyone can help with this male, is it marci? Large numbers appearing in last few days. 17/4/2010; Devon, England thanks Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [158.16Kb] Edited by tim worfolk on 19-04-2010 04:53 |

No, B. marci is completely black. Black hairs and reddish legs point to B. johannis, but see also http://www.dipter...d_id=20163. The hind tarsi are not seen well, however, the shape resembles B. johannis rather than B. femoralis. Regards, Sundew Edited by Sundew on 17-04-2010 21:26 |
