Hi

A second specimen of bee-fly caught in the same place as this one. Such as the previous bee-fly, can it be Bombylius cinerascens ?

Thank you in advance.

Found in Bois de Vincennes (Paris, Île-de-France, France) on the 24th of April 2021
Body length : around 7 mm

Hi Axel, we cannot see rows of black bristles behind the eyes but see the 2-3 black bristles before the wings: you are right, both of your flies are males Bombylius cinerascens.

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
