 Hello,

this beauty was flying around among the grasses in my garden two days ago. It was quite big, but I can't say the measurements, it took off. Can you say something about the species?
Germany, Saarland, Bexbach, Garden, Absolute Altitude 250 m, 14.05.2023

Greetings, Volker

 Judging from the coloration of legs, Otites porca Latreille 1804.
It is not surprising because it occurs on the trans-Rhein Germany. I know it for instance from Karlsruhe.
Otherwise, it is common throughout France and Northern Italy.

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
