Don't know if you're going to be able to help on this one. Unlike most of the Syrphidae I've been photographing, this one was just too modest to open his wings and let me get a good shot of the abdomen Angry. Have you any ideas?

Thanks, Sarah

Certainly a species of Melanostoma. Based on the dust pattern on the head, my guess is M. scalare.

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
