Hello

Yesterday I photographed an unkown fly in West-Germany! Who can help me and identify this fly (7-10mm)?

Thanx...

best regards

Hi Markus.
It is male of Pollenia sp., Calliphoridae. Flies of this genus have golden hairs on thorax.

@Nikita:

Hello
Thanks for your identification. Is a more exact identification feasible with this insect or isn't not possible that?

Species level identification of Pollenia requires a good view from several directions. Some species can be identified only be examination of male genitalia. So you are out of luck with this one.

@Kahis: Thanx - thats a word!

Here I show another picture, but the perspective is nearly identical unfortunately. Perhaps now an expert sees enough - I hope.
Hope dies last.

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
