Hi all,

Yesterday afternoon I photographed a mating pair of Myopa species in my garden, (Derby, UK), but I am unsure which one they are, if anyone can i.d., them or make a best guess I would be grateful.

As well as the attached image other shots can be seen here :

Thanks.

Steve :-)

Sciomyzidae.
My bet would be Hydromya dorsalis, but no certitude on that.

Just had a look at Hydromya dorsalis and I trust your judgement :-) My mistake re thinking they were Myopa, misled by a wrongly labelled image on the internet !

Thanks again,

Steve :-)

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
