Hi,

i need some help to identify this black fly from july/this year.

The photo was made in Western Switzerland, around 400 m above sea level, near the lake Neuchatel in fallow strips.

Regards,

Nadine

Are you sure it isn't a Stratiomyidae?

Hi Mielczarek and Susan,

first many thanks for your answers.

I looked for photos of Pipizella, but there are not so much on the web. And I also looked for photos resembling my fly in the group of stratiomyidae. I find this very difficult to judge.

Maybe both of you could explain your identification?

Or someone else has an idea?Smile

Bye, Nadine

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
