 Hi,
Two days ago I watched a nice Syrphid ovipositing in the ground. I am quite convinced that it is a Merodon avidus. The species is known from our Berlin district, so it is no surprise. Some weeks ago I photographed a male, too.
By the way, the yellow "balls" are seeds of Veronica hederifolia.
Cheers, Sundew

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
