Hello, I've IDed this one as a female Coenomyia ferruginea, but I was pointed out that this was not correct. Can you help me at this one? Found in Germany, Potsdam Mittelmark near the river Havel. MathiasK attached the following image:  [186.8Kb] Edited by MathiasK on 13-05-2011 08:53 |

Thank you Paul! That was really fast! :-) That means they are "Thereva spiloptera" or "Thereva spinulosa"? Was I at least right with the male and female decision? |

'sp' stands for species, meaning an unidentified species belonging to the group with which it is mentioned, so in this case a species of Thereva.

Ah, I understand! Thank you! I assume that it isn't possible to id the sex of them? Or was i right with my try that the first one is female and the second is male? Thanks again and Best regards! |
