Hello,

The first two pictures show a fly I saw in Juli, Heerlen, NL.
The third I made in September, in Germany.

Again, Chymomyza amoena. Seems to be getting pretty common.

Hi Ben,

Yes Chymomyza amoena. It seems this species is spreading through The Netherlands. In "De Kaaistoep" (Tilburg) there seems to be a good population. It would have been easy to collect a few hundred specimens. Sweeping underneath oak trees almost always resulted in collecting several specimens (at least in August and September).

Okay, I see Paul was a bit quickerSmile.

Thanks Paul,

I didn't know certain if the animal was listed for the Netherlands.
