hedy, if you read the FAQ carefully you can see that it is allowed to post related images in a single thread. In case you have 14 images of supposedly the same species you can combine these in one or just a few threads.
It was mentioned in the Forum - Code of Conduct, too, but I admit it was not given at the most logical place so I moved it upwards. ;)

Hello Ruud and Paul,
Yes Paul, I know the limit to upload flies, as automatically I cannot upload any pictures until now. In this special case of Lonchoptera lutea I had a few for a long time and I was hoping that there was another one than Lonchoptera lutea. For myself and my administration I prefer to make 1 insect to 1 topic, so not to be confused.
In this case I uploaded 14 Lonchoptera lutea, I hoped for another species, but they are all Lonchoptera lutea, so probably only this species in Zeist.
Many thanks to you Ruud for answering each one of them patiently, I appreciate it.
To shorten the row, I will not thank you for each topic again...:)
Regards,
Hedy

I really would like to know what information we have about the occurrence of all Lonchoptera species. Do we have to look at special environments for them?
As I understand in parts of Sweden L. bifurcata is very common. Maybe in some areas of the Netherlands L. lutea plays a minor role. I almost hope so: only lutea is a bit boring. ;-)
