Black-fringed Moss Snipefly (Ptiolina obscura) in a reliable spot for the species on a moss-covered oak branch at Cali Heath @yorkswildlife.bsky.social reserve this am. Males gather on damp, drizzly days and just sit and look at each other! @dipteristsforum.bsky.social @uk-soldierflies.bsky.social

Black-fringed Moss-snipefly (Ptiolina obscura) on a mossy oak at Cali Heath @yorkswildlife.bsky.social reserve today. Hoping for more rain, so that their mossy habitat starts to moisten up after a very dry period. @ynuorg.bsky.social @uk-soldierflies.bsky.social @dipteristsforum.bsky.social
