 Found a lot off these hovers (I think Melanostoma scalare), hanging on grass-flowers september 13th early in the morning. On closer inspection, most seem dead with ruptured abdomens.
Can someone shed a light on this phenomenon ?

 Looks like the fungal infection by Entomophthora muscae.
Greetings,

Hi. Please delete all photos of E. carrapateira I've uploaded. I did not remember that I already had uploaded that species in particular. Except the pallidifacies (this was not present yet). Thank

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile

@zeegers, your book seems difficult to get from Spain, is there another way?
