Taken in the mountains of Madrid on August the 6th 2012. I thought it was going to be Musca autumnalis but checking the pictures it has clearly hairy eyes. Musca osiris? Musca vitripennis? One I don't know about? Help, please! Thanks!!  There are many other pictures if something special needs to be seen

Thanks for your reply, tristram!!  But I thought Musca autumnalis don't have hairy-eyes  Am I mistaken??  The one in the picture definitely has glabrous eyes.

This is a female Dasyphora pratorum/penicillata. If other small ad above the strong one, D. penicillata, otherwise D. pratorum.

WOW!! Thanks a lot, Stephane!! I knew there was something wrong about this 'Musca'  All of a sudden I see the light: too big, too compact, too shiny, thorax chaetotaxy... My first female Dasyphora, and I didn't guess in spite of seeing males last year nearly in the same spot  You don't know but you have done my day Back to my pictures to try to see that additional ad seta |
