Dear forum,

aug, 2nd, 2015, garden, northern upper rhine rift, southwest germany, 6mm.
Visiting blossoms of Oxalis corniculata (creeping woodsorrel) and attacking small black 7mm-solitary bees with long antennas, which visited these blossoms as well and which I could not identify.
When resting, this fly often lifted legs 1, not together, but one after the other, which looked like greeting:-)

Does this fly belong to the Thecophora atra-species-group?

Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.
Best wishes, Thorsten

Dear Forum,

when looking at the answer to Kurt`s fly from july, 26th (http://www.dipter...d_id=68548), I guess, that mine must stay Thecophora sp. (round T. atra), too, right?
Best regards, Thorsten

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
