Hello!

There were many flies (Muscidae, Heleomyzidae and others) licking sap on cut trunks of a hedge these days (see last picture). Most of them beeing the ubiquitous (in the last few months) Phaonia tuguriorum. But I think the one on the first picture, with the dark legs is a Helina, right? H. evecta?

All flies around 7-9 mm (I will post the small one on the last pic in a separate thread), northwest Germany, March-03, 2009.

Hello!

No chance? I am still very interested if the first fly could be Helina cf. evecta, would be my first record this year.
Best regards,
Jürgen

That's a possibility, but difficult to be sure. The last two seem to be Ph. tuguriorum indeed.

Thanks again. Yes, Phaonia tuguriorum is a mass animal since weeks here. Unfortunately the weather has become worse, and at the moment there is no possibility to get better pics of that possible Helinas... Frown
