wowo! now, the things seems to be in right way. Grin But, it still needs lots of work and study. I?m waiting eagerly for the new book.

-- perhaps I saw this fly as well in the weekend!!
Is it usual to find them above Brassica spp. leaf? Smile

I collected a Bibionidae fly today. Who is the specialist in this forum concerning this family? Who can ID this possible Bibio sp. I had collected?

Jorge,

Search the forum for Bibio and you'll find a link to a key by M. van Ween. It is in Dutch, but it is doable.
