Hello Forum, again a fly from the alder marshland in Hagen (D) 175 m above sea level. This photo I took on June 23rd 2007. The plant in the background is Heracleum sphondyleum. May be it is Cheilosia spec.? Is a closer determination possible? Best wishes Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image: [20.73Kb] |

I'm fairly sure this is Cheilosia illustrata (someone will tell us if I'm wrong!)

We would like pictures from three angles: above, side view of the whole body and if possible a closer look at the head from the side (and even then, sometimes we cannot make a certain ID)

Hallo Andre, I will do my best - in the future. The pictures from 2007 all are more or less snapshots. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. And: there is mostly only one picture. Sorry! For 2008, I learned now by heart and in most cases, I will continue with better and closer pictures from all around the dipteras bodies. Thank you so far. There are still 3 or 4 Photos of syrphidae from 2007 remaining. Then a better time will come. Josef |
