Hello together,

is it possible to identify this darkly drawn hover fly? I saw it in the southern Black Forest, Germany on 09.04.2021. The length was about 8-9 mm.

Greetings Siggi

Hi Siggi, I think it's a female Melangyna quadrimaculata (abdomen black, pterostigma black and long, eyes hairy.

Greetings, Eric

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
