Hi

trying to "iD" different Eristalis, to look after the right details I would be very happy If anybody could control my tries. Confirm or adjust.
According to result of this tries, if well done, I can feel more sure in future for own Eristalis ID's in some clear cases.

Thanks a lot! Brigitte

E. tenax: Date and ID is noted direct on photos.

Hi once more Brigitte! Grin

Second picture is an E. tenax, yes. No shadow of doubt Wink Double vertical bands of hairs on the eyes and broad 3rd tibia.

The general aspect of the first picture fits with tenax, altough I cannot see any of the features that make me be sure about the ID.

Thanks Piluca :-)

broad 3rd tibia is a new detail (for me) and is well noted :-)
