All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Many features do not show, but gut feeling is female Carcelia iliaca. The only Carcelia with dark tibiae (except for any very rare Alpine thing). Specialist on Thaumetopoea.
