Those are my first shots with a new LOMO microscope (MD 130 digital micro-ocular).

The species is new for Sweden and new for N Europe. Everybody who has the Phototeque of Dolis of N Europe may add the photos to this collection.

Thanks, Crex; thanks Paul for giving room in Gallery.
I know that the species was recently found in Britain (unpubl.). Maybe very warm 2006 summer, autumn and last winter has stimulated the flies to fly northward?
