First I thought it is some fly like a Physiphora sp. (lifts the front legs like them) or Saltella sp.,
but then I noticed it has a similar wing venation like the Catharosia, so I found that other matching genus in Phasiinae :-)
Observed at the very same location like the Catharosia a few days ago.

I went out today (28-Jul-2020) and I've found a few more (all of them on Heracleum sphondylium), just 200m from my home. They are together with Azelia spp., Sepsis spp., Saltella spp., Phasia spp., Physiphora alcaea, Gymnosoma spp. and many tiny Hymenoptera on that flowers
They are quite small, but if you know how they look like, then you see them everywhere :-)

If they are common and you have the opportunity to collect a couple for me, please do.

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.
