Great, a new one for me. Not all Pollenia seem to be scary to ID  Thanks John! Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

Hi Lorin, Congratulations for finding a new one I'm happy to help.Pollenia is my favorite genus of flies. I suppose that they aren't very scary to id if you invest enough time to learn how to separate them. I attack this genus like i'm Mr. T Mapogo claiming his territory. rudis, angustigena and hungarica are the most problematic of the genus in my opinion. Best wishes, John John and Nini.

To quote a quote by Susan Walters from the insektenfotos-Forum: "Male Pollenia are the most frustrating creatures. ... I currently hate Pollenia..."

Hello Lorin, I understand the frustration of dealing with Pollenia. I've wanted to pull out my hair on several occasions. But i really like Pollenia so i keep trying to master this genus. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
