hi flyforum,

An Anthomyiidae sp. , about 8-10mm.
place: Amsterdam forest
date: 11-04-2009

Typical redish lunula? and obvious palps..

What kind of Anthomyiidae is this?

greeting Robert

Difficult female anthomyiid, there are many that look like this. The red is the anterior half of the frontal stripe, also like this in many speccies. It is probably a female Delia species.

thank you very much Michael for your comment.

Today I found some Leucophora sp.(?) in front of the holes of digging wasps (Nomada lathburiana).. Must be a accidental I think..

And this must be a male Leucophora sp. ?

What I find obvious, is that some of the Leucophora got a pure white face, other got some black parafacal mascara..
