Hi All

Another fly from an old estate, near a lake, also sheep faring in the locale.

I think this is the right fly but there maybe others that are similar that I haven't found.

Sorry for the bang average photos, the fly wouldn't sit still for a second and the autofocus struggled with the iridescence.....

Could someone ID please?

Thanks, Gareth

Hi Gareth, Sargus iridatus has darker, blackish wings and black feet. I think this one is a female Chloromyia formosa.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Feet (as in “tarsi”) are dark in Ch. formosa as well, otherwise you would have Ch. speciosa.

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
