While making light for attraction of moths, I found this Bibio yesterday (10.10.2023) - Lüneburg, Lower saxony (Germany).
Can it be identified?
best regards
Jann

There are only two species likely to be found in October, Bibio longipes and Bibio clavipes.

Yes, and this is the female Bibio clavipes.
