Hello, I collected this one in early april 2018, 12 km south of Paris, in a park, on cherry flowers ; there were hundreds of its. I think it's a male Bibionidae Bibio ... 10,5 mm. Could it be identified to species level ? pat_der2003 attached the following image: [264.89Kb] |

According to this key, I see "Front tibia with a pair of large spurs" so it is Bibio rather than Dilophus ? Body >10mm long Spring flying, legs all black Is this leading to Bibio marci or are there other lookalike species in France ? Thanks ! EDIT : Bibio marci have black eyes ... this one red eyes ...
