Hello,
On June 10, I saw this very small fly on the Zschopau, in Saxony, Germany. What is it?


Thank you in advance
Greetings

That is a nice one - Phthiria minuta (Bombyliidae)! (See https://diptera.i...o_id=11181 and the key https://home.hccn...hiria.html.)
As to photography: try to equip your camera with a Raynox DCR-150 macro lens, you'll get much better results!

Ich mache alle Fotos nur mit dem Handy, dafür sind sie aber doch ganz gut?!

Liebe Grüße

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
