hello fly-reader, I found a picture of Merodon equestris (If I'm right?) from some time ago (27-5-2002). It visited my room(Amsterdam) and I took a picture and video of it: http://www.waarneming.nl/foto_details.php?id=24909 Is this Merodon(?) a female fly? Eyes are seperated quite a distance.. Or isn't it a characteristic feature of this fly? p.s. This fly is not loved by flower ball (narcissus) farmers in Holland regards Robert Heemskerk

It's a female, forma 'bulborum' (sensu Van der Goot, 1980: Zweefvliegen van Noord-West Europa). |
