Hello! Can this Sylvicola be identified? Only about 5 mm, in garden at light (northwest Germany). Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [47.67Kb] Edited by Juergen Peters on 17-03-2011 00:21 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hi Juergen! I used Paul's key, it worked well I thought but nobody confirmed mine. Try it, it hurt my head for a start but I got there, I think!  http://www.online...p?key_no=1 Here's mine.. male and female, see if they compare! http://diptera.in...d_id=36908 http://diptera.in...d_id=36910 Janet

Hi, Janet! blowave wrote: I used Paul's key, it worked well I thought but nobody confirmed mine. Try it, it hurt my head for a start but I got there, I think! I'm afraid, I am even overcharged by the technical terms in the key  . I'm not used to work with keys (shame on me...). But according to "Entomofauna germanica" there are only 5 Sylvicola species here, and S. cincta (sic! wouldn't that be the correct genus suffix?) is one of them.Here's mine.. male and female, see if they compare! I think it does look very like your female. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Aha, but that is the challenge! By doing it you will have to find out where everything is! Try this site with wing venation, that helps a lot! http://www.drawwi...isopodidae Edited by blowave on 16-03-2011 21:23 http://cubits.org... |

Try this site with wing venation, that helps a lot! http://www.drawwi...isopodidae Thanks a lot! The problem is: I am not only into Diptera, but interested in all arthropods (some more, some less...), and I am afraid that is too much stuff for my no more very young brain to keep it all within...  But your link is very interesting! I did not know that website and immediately stored it in my bookmarks.

I'm also into everything that moves! I'm also not so young any more! It keeps the brain from rusting up.

Yes, but 90% of my free time is consumed by my own forum (not, that I am unhappy with that...).
