Hello! Is this Ferdinandea cuprea, or should I leave a 'cf.' in the name? It visited a banana bait at a tree in our garden this afternoon (northwest Germany). Length about 10-12 mm. Here are some more (and larger) pictures of that phantastic fly: http://insektenfo...adid=19126 Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [77.79Kb] Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hello, Stephane! Stephane Lebrun wrote: Yes it is Ferdinandea cuprea Many thanks for confirmation! I can also see a Muscina and some Drosophila in the other pictures. Yes, there a many, many flies at the rotting bananas at the moment. Most frequent (except from the myriads of Drosophila): Phaonia pallida, valida, subventa, Polietes, Calliphora, Lucilia, Suillia, Neuroctena, Episyrphus etc. And at night many Noctuids  :http://insektenfo...adid=19098 http://insektenfo...adid=19099 http://insektenfo...adid=18763 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
