I think I can recognize Phorocera obscura. They are every year in our garden. But I'm never sure about the smaller darker ones. I know they are variable in length.
Bergen, The Netherlands.

Photo 16-4-2014. This one must be right.

Looks like 2 different species - Phorocera obscura first and then maybe Eumea linearicornis second & third?

Thanks Chris,

I only recognised the Eumea because I had seen one on a leaf earlier this Spring and they have a distinctly exoristine look to them with the golden face Smile

I hope I recognize it now too. Wink I didn't see new species today, but I've taken some other photos of an Eumea.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
