Hello!
Every year it's the question: which species will be the earliest:
Campylochaeta praecox or
Kirbyia moerens. Mostly the latter wins - as in 2009, if I am not mistaken. Yesterday there were numerous of them at the forest border (northwest Germany). About 6-7 mm.

Thanks! It is rather abundant here at the last hills of the Teutoburger Wald every year. It's not *so* far away from the Netherlands...

Hi!
And the second Tachinid 2009 here was - as expected:
Gymnochaeta viridis (April-07, northwest Germany, on tree trunk).
