Dear Forum,
2 of these flys were found on Daucus carota. I thought with that wind pattern it should be easy to find, but I didn't succeed... Melanophora roralis? Who can help?
Thanks,
Markus

Hello Markus, the colours/reflections were a bit misleading but I think it's a female
Rhinophora lepida.

I’m sorry, but I don’t think it is Rhinophoridae, but Nyctia halterata (Calliphoridae).

Nyctia halterata is belonging to Sarcophagidae.

Thanks a lot Niels-Jan! It's the female
Nyctia halterata (Sarcophagidae)!

As long as you don’t use Seguy, it is not a Rhinophoridae. 😀
