Hi


This was spotted on 20th March in Silgueiros - Viseu. In the same spot it was possible to see Bombylius undatus.

Which Bombylius is this? Beware that the hairs are grey.. the flash can do tricks sometimes. But the hairs of this fly are grey. It has a median line only on abdomen, not continuing on scutum.

EDIT: Title changed from "Bombylius sp." to "Bombylius fimbriatus"

according the angle we see this fly with very soft brownish hues, or whitish. But in general is more grey. Specially the superficial hairs.

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
