 Hey,

is it possible to say, which family, genus+species this is?
I would say - Empididae or Hybotidae...
Found in northern Germany.

Thank you!

Gerrit

 Rhamphomyia (Holoclera) nigripennis group, male. Such long mouth parts are not found in our Hybotidae.

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.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

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.
