Thans a LOT, Theo. The locality is indeed quite unique. Calcarous dry meadow with very long continuity. |

It turns out that the species has been found in three loclities in Denmark, all with extensive dry meadows. Almost to the day, it has been registored 10 years before in the same locality as this one, https://www.naturbasen.dk/observation/567003/demoticus-plebejus |

I found a web site for the area at http://danarige.d..., with pictures of some things this fly might eat.
