Hello!

There is a Syrphidae on the photo in a very difficult perspective for identification. However, is it possible to identify this fly?

Its length was about 5 mm and it sat on a meadow near Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany.


Greetings, Freddy...


... at least the genus, maybe???

I would say female Melanostoma scalare. Telling by the concave curved spots on the abdomen and the dusted face (a bit difficult to see here)

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
