I already know the species name, but I want to share this beautifull species with you.
I will add it to the gallery.
This species was collected as numerous pupa and 1 single fresh pharate adult (http://www.dipter...d_id=57209) in the Oosterschelde at several places on 21 aug 2013. Oosterschelde is a large saline inland lake in the southwestern part of The Netherlands.

edit: numerous pupa and exuviae, but also 1 larva and 2 adults (1male, 1 female)
