A lot of species on your ivy ;-) It is very difficult, not too many details, but I go for S. bicolor ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

I just noticed the 8mm. This is pretty large for a bicolor. So let's wait for our Polish hero Andrzej!

Thanks Ruud. Oh, OK, if Andrzej is about! I'm still waiting for him to look at the scutellum on my 10mm fly! I saw that one again, it was definitley around 10mm. Edited by blowave on 11-10-2010 21:49 http://cubits.org... |

I am also curious what he will make of it. When I saw that one, i just looked at the scutellum and thought it is notata. The photo of the antenna was so unclear. Is the arista of that one plumose or not at all? If not, then not notata of course.

No Ruud, I didn't mean the 8mmone which you said was S. notata, I meant this one..  http://diptera.in...d_id=33664 The 8mm S. notata maybe it does have plumose arista, it is difficult to say.. http://diptera.in...ost_149994 Too many orange flies..

For me there can't be too many orange flies...and this has nothing to do with being dutch at all. Regarding flies the more Orange the better but only regarding flies... Suillia's aren't that simple. Only few species are very easily recognozed, I think at least, such as variegata or pallida. But as soon as you begin to deal with the other, less common species, it is better to have a microscope ready. ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

Thank you Andrzej! I got a female which looks like S. bicolor too.. And I got more pics of goodness knows what, I will post those when I get around to it! I got S. variegata, both male and female too. I got that last year but it was devillish difficult to get good photos of, hopefully I got better this time! Ruud, not sure what being Dutch has anything to do with orange flies, but if you say so.. Watch out, I will be about with orange flies!

...orange being the shirt colour of the national football team. And then there are the dukes of Orange (or was it the Dukes of Hazzard - their car was orange too). |
