Hi,
this observation is from early May in a park in Vienna.

Great, a new one for me. Not all Pollenia seem to be scary to ID Smile
Thanks John!
Cheers, Lorin

Hi Lorin,

Congratulations for finding a new one Smile 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

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

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
