Found today in the garden sitting on the blossom of the wild carrot. Can someone tell me, which species that is ?

Hi Volkmar, it's a female Eristalis - probably a E. pertinax, which should have yellow tarsi I & II.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Supported! We cannot see the tarsi, but I have never seen a female of E. pertinax with such broad yellow tergite margins. Furthermore, E. pertinax has a longer pterostigma and darker eye hairs. Compare E. arbustorum (https://www.flick...405639174/) and E. pertinax (https://www.flick...771179127/) - there are differences!
Regards, 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
