Hello!

This not too big (7 mm) Muscid visited the light last night (northwest Germany). I'm not sure, whether it's a Phaonia male.

It could be an Anthomyiidae (3 post dc, distinct rows of ac...).

It could be an Anthomyiidae, but it could be a Muscidae with 3 dc as well. It is Muscoidea! Collect, Juergen, to get name for sure!

Yesterday and today I shot 932 (!) photos of insects - additional collecting would surpass my capabilities... ;)
