 Hi,
I found this type of little fly on several occasions in the local nature reserve in Gent, Belgium.
very hard to get a decent pic. of them. This one was making its toilet on a thistle bud.
Date: 11July 2009

I have been looking in the Gallery but couldn't find an exact match with my little fly.
Thanks! Smile

 Hi bonitin,

Looks like Sicus ferrugineus, can't say for certain if male or female but I would think male. Best let someone else confirm.Wink

 Conopidae yes
Myopa NO

It is Sicus ferrugineus.

Fond of violet Compositae, like in the picture.

 Hear Zeegers. Wink
This year I saw lots of this species! But nothing beats Myopa picta in Conopidae.

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
