No no, Jorge - this way:

In 1 hour you can find more flies then in 10 entomologists lifes, but most of them are damaged - but beetles not ;-)
Best regards

@ "Smoggycb":
thank you very much for the identification.

@ Jorge:
May be, but it will be like in beetles: Thousands of small and very small flies. I know, that one colleague collected a lot of new small Nemacera for his region with the car net.

Best regards
Frank
