Mechernich-Satzvey (Germany), 10 May 2022, near compost heap in our garden, very agile, length about 1,5 cm. Is Xylota segnis correct? Thank you very much for your comments.

Hi Eric,
it's time to say thank you once again for your support. In the case of Xylota segnis it seems that an obvious criterion to tell male and female apart is again the distance between the eyes: male -> holoptic; female -> dichoptic (as illustrated, for example, by the pictures in the gallery).
Best wishes,
Hans Theo

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
