 Hi, i found this fly i the beginning of July, outside Oslo, Norway, by a small lake.

I have no clue what family even it could be. Possible to ID?

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
