Cheers, Lorin Font Color 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. |

Chloropidae, Oscinellinae; Dicraeus vagans (Meigen, 1830), our most abundant Dicraeus species which develops in the caryopses (grass"seeds" of Arrhenaterum elatius (Poaceae), in late spring a simultaneously flowering tall grass along road sides. Hind cross vein present and difficult to be seen on these photographs. Probably not yet known as an abundant pollinator of Aristolochia species which were and are still a repeatedly studied object together with the multitude of specialized flower visitors. |
