I'm pretty sure this has to be in the Brachyopa genus but I have a hard time finding which one. According to the literature I have, none with the coloring that mine shows has that much and large size "hairing" (I dont know the english name for this) on the arista. Photographed end of July in southern Sweden. If you guys want to see the full view of the fly please tell me how I can post one full view and one close up photo of this same fly.

I am not at all a Syrphidae specialist, but it seems to me to be B. vittata

Minettia lupulina. I only sawy the head. I paid just attention to the antennae. Not a second I considered it not to be a Brachyopa. #redofshame

Thanks for the help. Minettia lupulina it seems to be for sure  Getting my new book in a couple of days so I'll see if I find it there. Belief is not an idea that the mind possesses but an idea that possesses the mind. |
