Conopids - wonderful looking flies. This year there are very few of them in the UK because of the awful weather.

Thanks to all. This really fits to be P. chrysorrhoea (Meigen 1824). Gerard you must change in gallery the name of your Physocephala... It must be Physocephala chrysorrhoea. Not Physocephala chrysorhoae.

This one is correct, but the other one is variegata according to Seguy. See that post Theo |

it seems that the abdomen on this one is more yellowish than the other Physocephala.. The same question: why not P. chrysorrhoea for this one? Sorry for the questions, but I like to know the reasons.  And in this way, next time I avoid the errors. Thank you! |
