Hi
Last week I found this bee-fly. It is a
Bombylius with almost hyaline wings so it may be difficult to identify (
the previous one I put on the forum remained unanswered). With
this key (which lacks several french species) I came to
Bombylius cinerascens and I find it very similar to
this specimen. Is it exact?
Are there any identification keys for bee-flies that can be used for specimens seen everywhere in France?
Found in Bois de Vincennes (Paris, Île-de-France, France) on the 24th of April 2021
Body length : around 8 mm
Edit : the ID has been confirmed by Eklans in the other thread :
