Hi,
this Scathophagidae was observed on february 8th 2026 at home (north of Yonne department, France). Found very closed to a large area of Narciisus in flowers. Is it Norellia spinipes ? since N. tipularia is very closed. All my thanks for your help.

Looks like Norellia spinipes to me indeed. But I'm not familiar with N. tipularia.
