Acroceridae Öland,Sweden July 2016 Size: 4 mm    Acrocera orbiculus seems good after some googling but I really would appreciate an expert's opinion! Also, I'm curious to know weather this species lacks a proboscis? I found a thread by jorgemotalmeida that suggests this: https://diptera.i...rowstart=0 Many thanks, John ---------------------------------------- John Hallmén http://johnhallme... http://flickr.com... |

Acrocera is correct, but it is very yellow. Need to check this Theo |

OK, the wing venation points to Acrocera orbiculus. It is a female, by genitalia and dark scutellum. Theo |

Very good, thanks for confirming! Any idea wether this species has a proboscis or not? ---------------------------------------- John Hallmén http://johnhallme... http://flickr.com... |

It is not a black and white question. The proboscis is strongly reduced. Theo |
