Hello,

many Kirbya moerens here the last few days, but two Tachinidae from today I only noticed at home at the PC on pictures of other insects. So no good pictures...

This one visited sloe blossoms next to a Bombylius major (northwest Germany).

Many Kirbya ?? We still have only one !

In any case, this Tachinidae is a Siphona in the maculata-complex, impossible to say which one.

Hello Theo,

I don't mean several Kirbya species, but several individuals in the last weeks/days Wink. But I still wait for better photos... (see below). In former years I rarely found more than one or two Kirbya moerens a season, in some years not one at all.

In any case, this Tachinidae is a Siphona in the maculata-complex, impossible to say which one.


Thanks! I thought of Siphona, but I never saw one this early in spring. Earliest find until now was April-25. Mostly they occur in early May.

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
