Hi, I think I have the male and female of Tachypeza nubila, both found on an Oak tree on the 6th and 9th October. I have also seen some later on my south facing wall, I have pics of what looks like the same female on 2 dates, 10th and 11th October but I'm only uploading those from the 10th as well as the others. Another set of pics I took on 11th October on the wall, I at first assumed to be a male, but looking closer I now think it isn't the same. For one reason, the abdomen is longer but hasn't the same shape as the female. Leg colouring is also a little different but it is also similar to that of the male on the Oak. Location a few miles south of Lincoln UK. Size, a little over 3.5mm. I am uploading 2 pics of the male, 2 each of the female on Oak and the wall, and 3 of the confusing one. I'm not sure I have the others correct either, any help much appreciated!  Janet  First the male on the Oak 2 pics. blowave attached the following image:  [97.65Kb] |

Bumping this up in case someone can help.  Can anyone at least tell me if Tachypeza nubila is correct for the first 3 flies? Thanks for looking. |
