Have a nice day. One Question please. Can this Bombylius species be identified? Or would she have had to sit still to see the wings. I would be very grateful for an answer. Kind regards, Karl.
Finding data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tattendorf, 220m, semi-dry flowering area, April 28, 2024, size approx. 5mm. The fly gets nectar from Saponaria ocymoides.

Hallo Karl, yes, if you want to sure you need a good image of a wing in resting posture.
I guess it is a Bombylius major or medius - but it's not sure.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Thanks Eric for the answer and the information. I will then stick with Bombylius sp. Maybe I'll find a dormant Bombylius species this year.
Best Wishes Karl.
