Hello, My first thread so please tell me if I do anything wrong, and my apologies if it is the case! The following fly looks like to be a Suillia gigantea if I refer to the criteria of the golden hair below the sternites; can you confirm this or tell me what it could be instead? And if it is a gigantea, would it be useful that I add it to the gallery? I have not been able to find any photo of it. Thank you for your help!

Very nice are also the spines and bristles on the middle femur. I like this species a lot. I have some collected in Hungary, but also in France. I received a nice series from Romania.

It is of course a male! Note pls, that in the female abdominal sternites are sparsely haired only, and without such golden hairs as in the male specimen. Andrzej

Thank you very much, Ruud and Andrzej, for the confirmation and explanations! (I thought the golden hair applied to both sexes) Could you please just confirm if it is ok to put the photo in the gallery? Thank you again! |
