 Hi all!

Can Rhingia rostrata be confirmed for this obviously highly pregnant fly? No dark central stripe nor segment edges on the abdomen, legs almost completely orange, length approx. 8-10 mm.

21.8.2024, Germany, Upper Bavaria, Kühnhausen at lake Waginger See, coordinates 47.93180, 12.79991

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
