Hi,
We just had a Nowickia thread by PeterD, and I'd like to add another one, because in a former thread of mine (http://www.dipter...d_id=14869) the ID stopped at Nowickia spec.
Here I show two flies of different localities, because I suppose them to belong to the same species (which might be wrong, of cause!). One is from southern Brandenburg, the other - it was quite a flock of them! - was seen in Thuringia. They were simply great and looked much more golden-spotted in the sun than is displayed by the photos.
So is this both N. ferox, or can other species look similar? Thanks for any explanations, Sundew

This is the Brandenburgian fly:

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
