Hi,

I'm a newbie with entomology and especially with diptera, and english is not my mother language, but I'll try to make it... Wink

Here is some Bombyliidae I found near Chalon/Saone (Burgundy, France), on 5th June 2004. Length was 5 mm av. and wingspan 10 mm.

I've been told maybe it could be Bombylius ater (Thanks to Paul Beuk !)
Can anyone confirm this ID or submit another one ?

Thanks !

Bombylella atra (Scopoli 1763) in Fauna Europaea too. Cuurent placement. But watch this space. Generic name changes are a real problem. Great fly nice shotsPfftPfft. Robert

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
