Hello Flyreader,
This fly with gold-bristle-thorax and draught-board backbody is, as far I can see Pollenia(?)
It's a man and female and the M-vain in the wing makes a sharp corner.
When this is Pollenia sp., which Pollenia could this be? (in the Netherlands)
When I read some forum-items about Pollenia, I understand that these flies could not be identified by photo's, only by microscope. Is it?
regards, Robert

Hi Robert
Your information is correct:
most Pollenia can be identified only by the male genitalia

for your reaction.
p.s.
by the way Theo, did you publish about the Bibio clavipes? in the dipteramagazine?
I'de like to receive one, if it's possible?
