This seems to be a female Agathomyia elegantula, but I wonder if it has been found this far south in Europe before. Interesting! And the pictures are nice too... |

Wow! Thank you very much Paul!  This area has a climate similar to the SW of France, to give you an idea (wet with mild temperatures, at most a couple of frost per year and the summer is mild, a couple of days at 35 ° C and the rest between 25-30 ° C maximum), is located in the "rainy Spain".Regards! |
