Berlin - July Hello everyone, i am doing some night work at my balcony and i found this beautiful silvery white fly. I don't know what it is. I have not seen anything like it before. I'd rather post a query than to research for hours. Any help is appreciated. The fly was attracted to light. I couldn't work with it more because a lacewing crashed into it and it did not return. Thank you. Edited by johnes81 on 28-07-2019 15:00 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Hello Jürgen, I think so too. I wasn't sure so i decided to post a query. I feel confident now that you also think so. Thank you very much Jürgen  I hope to meet this fly again. I think it is very pretty but i want a positive id which may require microscopic photos or genitalia. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

I found a Tephritidae, a Thervediae, a bunch of moths, Chironomidae and beetles attracted to my light. I found a ladybug (ladybird) that i've been trying to find for two years now. Finally found it at my balcony. life is strange. I expect to find it in the woods but i find it at home in a big city. John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Hello , Anatis ocellata has escaped me for two years now. I have over twenty Marienkaefer but not this one. I feel like everyone finds it but me. Tonight it landed on my balcony attracted o light. I'm shocked. I've searched for it in six different places with no luck. I live in an apartment so i don't have a garden either. I've been frustrated because i even found the only two Chilocorus species in Deutschland. Hopefully, you also have photos of Anatis ocellata. Maybe it is just scarce in certain areas of Berlin.
