Hi, Here comes a fly from last August, seen in Potsdam. First I thought of a tachinid because of the hairy abdomen, but wing venation points to muscids rather. The only comparable one known to me is Limnophora, but I might be absolutely wrong. So your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [163.15Kb] |

Muscidae, probably Helina (general + black spots on abdomen)

Ok - the Helina of my photo collection looked a bit different as to the shape of the spots, but that might be variation within the genus limits. So I shall label these pics "Helina spec.". Thank you very much, Nikita. Sundew Edited by Sundew on 27-03-2008 00:08 |
