Thanks, So looks like larvarum, but it isn't sure, even if there were several male at this place ? http://www.dipter...ost_108924 Edited by Christine Devillers on 30-08-2009 11:42 |

larvarum and fasciata can occur together and females are difficult to separate. I didn't see the last pic the first time, I don't know why. Anyway, it clearly shows larvarum. So no more doubts Theo |
