 Hello,

I photographed this woolly hawk on ivy at the end of May 2022. Is it possible to determine the species? Unfortunately I do not have a size reference

Thank you and greetings Volker

 Possibly a Villa hottentotta. Looks strikingly similar to this iNat image: https://www.inatu.../137320405

 Hi guplox,

 Male Villa hottentotta is correct.

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
