Today 2011-02-26, also in the wetland Suárez Pond, in Motril, Granada, Spain, I have found again this sirfide. And in intercourse! It measures only about 7-8 mm Could it be the same sirfide that shown above? http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=34563  Grateful for your opinion, a greeting. |

Great picture. Yes, could very well be!  Can you catch as many specimens as you can find for me, to check ID's please? You can contact me by private message! Greetings, André |

I think now that the temperature begins to rise, I can still see various insects of this species. If I have luck and find them again try to take some samples for full identification. Grateful for your comments. Greetings |

N. podagrica couple. Though face is more protruded than average, and the third segment of the antenna is more elongate than average, the spots on tergite 2 reveal its identity. Study of your specimens at home showed that it is not N. clausseni (or N. balearensis), unfortunately. But keep on looking, especially for N. podagrica without spots on T2  |
