Hi,
this appr. 7 mm fly was found on reed on August 18 at Kyritz lake in Brandenburg, Germany. I have no idea which species it could be, and I appreciate your help.
Thank you for help,
Hans

Sepsidae; I think it's a male
Themira sp. maybe
T. putris

Hello Roger,
thank you very much! Yes, it sometimes showed a Sepsidae-like behavior. And I often saw females of T. putris. This is my first male.
Best regards,
Hans
