Hello,

I'm sorry for the title, but I have absolutely no clue what to search for - well, it's a mosquito I guess, but that's already all I know.

Found on 2012-05-11 in Germany, Hesse, Rheingau, near Lorch am Rhein, on a tree in a forest (Taunus). There's a small river near by.

Since it was quite cloudy I needed to use the flash, resulting in false colours - the third picture was taken without a flash thus showing what it really looked like.

Ah yes, that looks very good Grin So it's a fly and not a mosquito, interesting. Thank you very much!

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.
