Hi everybody! Seems to be a very nice place here. My name is Hardy and I like to take pictures of dead flies. But I do not have the slightest idea whats on the pictures. Can you change that? I’ve tried to search myself, but I have no idea where to begin. There are too much possibilities for an absolute beginner ... Thanks a lot! Hardy  This is my first question ...  And this one my second ... Both were catched in the Swiss alps. Edited by Hardy on 12-04-2019 19:44 |

The first is in family Muscidae. Better to post different flies in different threads. |

Welcome to the diptera community Hardy If you wish to make a start on getting some idea of what various flies look like then the Gallery here on Diptera.info is a good place to start. Just browse through the various Families. After that there are a handful of well structured sites that are well worth browsing through: France: Galerie du Monde des Insectes at https://www.galer...hp#Diptera Spain: Invertebrados InsectariumVirtual at https://www.biodi...vug9paqus7 Russia: The MacroClub project at https://macroid.r...hp?cat=671 Though we don't have an equivalent to those in the UK, the Flickr site of Steve Falk at https://www.flick...586945825/ covers a number of Families. The Flickr sites of Rui Andrade and Nikola Rahme are also worth exploring. |

first - some hairy-eyed Helina; second - Rhagionidae: Rhagio or Symphoromyia P.S. 1. Please, indicate where and when 2. Whitish background instead of black would be much better for identification Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Great! Thanks Nikita, that’s exactly the answer I was looking for! I think now I have a chance to identify my flies! Otherwise I post some better pictures on white background ... |

Thanks all for your help. With your hints and ideas I made some «research» and some lighter pictures ;-) My results are: No 1 Helina evecta No 2 Symphoromyia crassicornis Could that be right or am I miles away? Hardy   |
