Hello! I think the same fly was recently featured here: http://www.dipter...ad_id=3070 Does my fly (watched several of them yesterday and the day before here in Germany on umbelliferous flowers) belong to this species, too? It was about 10-12 mm long. Thanks!

Hi Juergen. I can't give you positive reply, but I think I can negative. There isn't strong descending frontal bristles, neither vertical apical bristles on scutellum, so it isn't Exorista. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Looks more like Linnaemyia, due to the: large size, hairy eyes, no facial-ridge bristles, pale face colour and protruding mouth edge. |

Hello, again! At first I thought, this one was the same species, but now I'm not sure anymore. Same time and location, maybe a little bit smaller.

Hard to say for sure without seeing its face but it does have the dense hair on the eyes and the dusting & bristles seem similar. |

Hi Juergen, Could you change the name of the thread in 'Also Linnaemyia' ? I could misled by the title. This is also Linnaemyia most likely, as Chris thought. thanks Theo |

Hello, Theo and Chris! Zeegers wrote: Could you change the name of the thread in 'Also Linnaemyia' ? I could misled by the title. This is also Linnaemyia most likely, as Chris thought. Thanks to you both! I have changed the subject to "Linnaemyia?" (without the "Also", as it is not the same genus as in the other thread).
