Hi,

This little black fly took a rest on the wall of our house in the late afternoon.

I would guess it could be a tachinid fly (Periscepsia sp?). Can that be confirmed or excluded from the attached image and/or is a narrower determination possible ?

Germany, Southern Bavaria, Munich (-West), 04.07.2023, app. 6 mm

Greetings, Uli

Rhinophoridae, probably Melanophora roralis (male): https://diptera.i...oto_id=526

Male Melanophora roralis 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
