Hi, I found this bumblebee mimic in the Botanical garden in Uppsala Sweden and wonder if anyone knows what it is.
(Sorry for not showing the entire fly in the images, I haven't figured out a better way to fit them in to the 200Kb limit).

Cheers,
Malin

my non-expert opinion: Eristalis intricaria female; http://www.dipter...to_id=2193

Try a stronger compression. I normally use JPEG, not PNG, and a JPEG quality of 70%. With this compression your first pic is only 15 KB big.

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
