In the field, I saw this male as belonging to Eristalis pertinax, so I did not pay any special attention. However, seeing the very clear wings in the photo, I subsequently got doubts whether it could rather be E. similis, and if, whether it is possible to tell for sure from this limited angle. E. pertinax is supposed to have rahter cloudy wings in Spring. From a flowering sloe S of Horsens, Denmark, yesterday 22 April.

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
