Hi,

just now I'm very busy at the work so I have time to run only one trap. This place was good last year and has been even better this summer. I don't have too much time to go trough everything so I pick up only 30-40 most interesting flies every day. All kind of late summer flies from rare Syrphidae and Sciomyzidae to Heleomyzidae, Muscidae and some very common Sepsidae. As You can see our nature is far from fresh at this time of the year but for some reason there are more flies now than a month ago. This place is in Helsinki Finland, very near our home.
