Prosena siberita (nothing else has such a long down-curved proboscis) ... they are flying around here in England too

Yeah, I always find them on local chalk-downland sites, sitting on Marjoram (Oregano) plants

That's true - I had forgotten Rhamphina but they are big and dark and look like a Eurithia with a long proboscis that tends to hinge under the body - I think?

First 2 definitely Prosena siberita Last one not sure - maybe Aphria?

the last is an Anthomyiidae. I hope you really find that amazing Conops!!! But considering that conopids were really bad this year... I hope you will spot it again.

Also another Anthomyiidae... also don't forget that DI requests one species per thread... Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 18-08-2010 22:26 |

Please follow the board rule not to post different species in one post ! The 'Aphria' is certainly something else, Aphria has the frontal stripe vividly reddish (see recent thread). It might be Eriothrix though, (of course NOT rufomac. but another species) Theo |
