Just a confirmation of the family would help me a lot.

Sierra de Cazorla, JaƩn province, southeastern Spain. 25 March 2020.

Feeding on nectar of box (Buxus sempervirens) flowers, and apparently transferring pollen and behaving as a legitimate pollinator.

Hi, from what I can see, it could be Greenomyia mongolica. A lateral shot may help to be sure.

Greetings, Eric

Good enough to exclude Greenomyia with coxa I and II black.
Wings with dark patches, antenna base yellow? Dynatosoma?

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
