All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Thanks Roger,
I see that it is a very complicated group. Could you recommend good sources that would be helpful at least for a safe genus ID?
Cheers, Lorin

Hi Lorin,
Well assuming I might be correct in my ID, I really don't know anything about these. I only photograph flies etc, no expertise in Id'ing them. Just go by how they look. Occasionally get it right Wink There are a couple of threads I found regarding them from years ago. Might be of interest...

Steve Gaimari seems to be the go to guy...
