 I found this beautiful fly in the end of may in Gothenburg. I haven't seen Parhelophilus versicolor before but it looks like one to me - or is it something else? The photo is taken close to a forest edge, mainly with oaks and some ash trees.

 Or maybe the lack of yellow hair at the back of the head implies another species?

 Yes, it's a male Parhelophilus, but the species is not identifiable from this picture I'm afraid.
Greetings,

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
