 Good afternoon,

today I was able to photograph this fly. The body length is about 6 mm. Found on a sandy dry grassland in a pine forest near Mainz in Germany.
I see strong similarities to Phasia obesa and to my thread https://diptera.i..._id=100814 which I found in the same area. However, there are noticeable differences in the colour and pattern of the wings.

Perhaps someone can help.

 Obesa is very variable. This is female obesa. indeed.

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
