Hello everyone,

I would appreciate a bit of help with this one ... Looks kind of special, but I can't place it.

Photos were taken on the island Bornholm (DK) in the Baltic on May 15 2022.

All the best :)

Hello Walther, as far as I can see: a male Nemoraea pellucida (Meigen, 1824).

Thanks, Eric!

Yeah, I thought about that too. It's just that its proportions seem wrong, somehow. But I'm sure you're right.
Nemoraea pellucida is a very recent addition to the Danish fauna. Perhaps even within this decade. In all likelyhood.
