Thank you very much for your effort, Gunnar!

If we can get some adults, I will conatct you again. In the farm some adults were found on sticky traps, but I think those are not OK for ID.

As far as we know, Psychoda is not feeding on living plants. But how can they survive in the buds? It is humid there, but hardly any organic matter (besides the fresh plant material). Any idea?

kind regards
Thomas
