Hi, yesterday I've met a female Hybomitra but she only allowed some dorsal photos and I'm not sure, if it's possible to determine based on the poor images with the excellent "Velgids Dazen". The closest I could find is H. muehlfeldi (but there's no fen nearby), followed by solstitialis (ciureai). What's your opinion?
In my garden: Ansbach, DE-Franconia, Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, 2021-07-10.

Thank you and best regards

Some details showing the black & yellow hairs on the abdomen and the antenna.

Well, they can fly of course, looking for blood.

But it seems to me the notopleural lobe is pretty dark, hence bimaculata ?

Yes, normally I would like it to be confirmed based on subgenital plate, very different between species mentioned.

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
