Hi,
found on 01-June-2020 in a nature reserve, former sand dunes of river Rhine, Germany, Rhineland Palatinate, "Mainzer Sand", Mainz
Many bees, some of them very rare, nist there in the sand and the fly was flying rapidly among them and seemed to search...
Can it be further identified?
Many thanks and regards,
Stella

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
