Hello forum,

I found two Morellia sp. (both with radial node setulose)
But looking under my micros.,they where very different.
We have in the Netherlands 3 species:
aenescens
hortorum
simplex
But I'm confused between those three.
Maybe its male and female of hortorum ??
(If needed I have more pictures)

You are totaly right !!!! (I feel a little stupid now....Wink)
So it wil be no Morellia!
Now I put two photo's....one from the legs en one of both fly's
I think that the first photo from the legs (upper one) and that is the Left one on the second photo is a Morellia....M. aenescens.
And the legs below ..whit the right fly on the second photo must be a different fly.....maybe Limnophora ???

It's a little confusing.......but it is not easy...when you are a beginner GrinPfft....so many hairs and things to look at!

I'm a little bit lost with your right/left photos, but the fly with hairy eyes and straight M should be Polietes domitor.
