Hello all,
Perhaps Dorycera graminum ? Or Macheirocera grandis, or ? I can't really decide on the basis of available photos.

Nimes, May 10th. Size approx like a biggish house fly, as far as I remember.
Thanks for your help
Philippe

Sorry, that was Nîmes, Gard, France! Wink
The other one would have been a real scoop!

Dorycera graminum is a final decision after Elena took a look at it and I took a look at our collection.
