Hi, I took a picture of this orange fly in our garden at the hedge, where it was sitting on a leaf. Based on some pictures in the web (e.g. https://diptera.i...o_id=10659 ) I would speculate that it could be Chrysopilus laetus. Is it possible to confirm or reject that speculation based on the picture below? Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 01.08.2021, app. 8-10 mm Greetings, Uli ukursawe attached the following image: [87.87Kb] Edited by ukursawe on 03-08-2021 23:58 |

Yes, that is correct. You can see the wing tip is darkened as well. According to the literature, this would indicate Ch. pullus, but some /many laetus have this feature. See the very new article by myself and others in Entomologische Berichten. Theo |
