Hello,
I found this little fly yesterday in woods near Stuttgart (Germany), size 3-4mm, Clusiidae?
Regards

Lonchoptera lutea also looks good;). Most populations of
L. bifurcata consist of only females. Your specimen is a male. I don't know if males of
L. bifurcata have ever been found in Germany.

Hello Jan
I almost would have seen your answer clearly. I did not get any notification about this. Many thanks for the correction and the interesting information.

Andreas

In the very unlikely event of finding a male
L. bifurcata the genitalia are small. this is clearly
L lutea
