Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Neu-Lankau near Mölln, way through fields and meadows right by the Elbe-Lübeck-Canel, at a leaf of Carpinus betulus, 19th of May 2025; Outsidephotos (no other angle) kuv. Searching in the Diptera Gallery and also in the Forum threads (for example: s. https://diptera.i...d_id=57220) I found males of Morellia simplex with the same wing venation and very similiar thorax. Is my ID-idea ok? Please help. Kuv kuv attached the following image:  [237.6Kb] Edited by kuv on 12-10-2025 09:55 |

We cannot see all significant characteristics like legs, prosternum, but I think it's a female M. hortorum: - frons seems to occupy one third of the head - sides of tergites 2 - 4 with shifting black/greyish pattern - their hind margins not markedly dark (based on Gregor et al (2016): Manual CE Muscidae) Greetings, Eric |
