Hello Forum, here a fly from the alder marshlands in Hagen (NRW, D), 175 m above sea level. The picture was taken on March 30th 2008. The fly sat on a metall fence that is around the marshland area. I have no real idea, which fly it might be! Is there anybody who can help? Best regards Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image:  [87.4Kb] |

By the general "jizz" I'd say Phaonia subventa, Muscidae.

What do you mean by "jizz"? That sounds rather "vulgar" to me. and: Thank you for the ID! Josef |

"Jizz" is the indefinable cumulation of small clues which give an animal (or thing) its identity: it is used all the time to identify a fly in the field when it shows itself for three seconds and flies off over a tree... |
