 Hi,

I took a few pictures of a comparatively huge fly on a leaf close to our garden hedge.

I would speculate that it could be Phaonia valida. The reddish scutellum seems a bit unusual for that species, but maybe that is within the variation range? Is it possible to confirm or reject that speculation based on the picture below?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 09.10.2021, app. 12 mm

Greetings, Uli

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
