I sighted this 6-7mm fly at the edge of the forest for stinging nettle. Can the fly be identified? Best regards, Bernd Bernd Rottenburger attached the following image:  [99.32Kb] Edited by Bernd Rottenburger on 05-12-2024 16:14 |

Calliopum aeneum/simillimum (with the greenish gloss more likely aeneum). P.S.: Even including the long wings not 7 mm... Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

The body colour in aeneum and simillimum is identical. If that had not been the case there would have been many more certain identifications of these species in the forum and elsewhere on the internet. It is mostly male genitalia and leg structure and female terminalia that lead to proper identification. From what I can see of the female terminalia in the last photo I am inlined towards C. simillimum...

Hello Paul, ok. I had read about that character here some time ago. I thought, the greenish glance could actually be lost in reared specimens. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
