Thaumatomyia notata is well known fly which can be seen on the window, sometime in mass, especialy in autumn.
Now is spring. Few days ago I collected same fly to.
Apical setas on scutellum = pair of setas at the end of scutellum.
But even with my collected fly under microscop I don't know is this damn apical setas approached enought or not. One needs:
1. collected fly with confirmed ID to compare with or
2. good illustration or
3. good teacher
I haven't 1 or 2. So, we have to hope some Expert's help.
