I will send this specimen to a specialist so we can get a final confirmation! Because it seems to be a very special fly.  It would be great if it is confirmed M. picta for this one! Through this photo is it possible to tell if we are seeing a male/female? Which is the rule for conopid flies concerning the sex? Thank you! |

I have now seen this specimen, and confirm that it is a male Myopa picta Panzer. This appears to be a new record for Portugal, according to the 2002 checklist. |
