This is a very xerothermic habitat with little vegetation and open soils. The fly was foraging on Thymus sp. best regards Jann Jann Wuebbenhorst attached the following image: [131.59Kb] Edited by Jann Wuebbenhorst on 19-06-2020 20:05

They were identified in this forum as Peleteria rubescens last year (from exactly the same location).
