Beautiful fly, about 5mm, with hovering flight and feeding from nectar. The bluish colour of the halters is amazing. Looks like a syrphidic but I'm not sure, the wings are not clearly visible. Any help?

Thank you,

Joaquim Gaspar

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
