A habitat characterization was made on the basis of samples of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) from an unknown habitat within "De Oude Landen" Nature Reserve (Ekeren, Belgium). When considering only the most abundant species, it was suggested that the habitat consisted of open as well as covered sites with a very wet soil or pools in the latter. Taking into account the less abundant but more stenotopic species as well, the sampling habitat could be described as a mosaic of humid marshlands or reed marshes and canopied habitats with open water showing muddy banks. The final comparison between both descriptions revealed a considerable correspondence. Some aspects of trapping methodology and entomological inventories are discussed
