Hello, I have a lot of fun photographing insects, but I have little knowledge and training when it comed to identifying what I shoot.

Could someone help me with these:

2:

This guy had a really nice narrow yellowish line with dark lines on each side running from it's neck down between it's wings.

Also, is it possibe to say anything about these two?:

Species or Genus would be much appreciated. These are all from Norway

There will probably be a lot more this summer.

Thanks.

Hi! Welcome to forum! First is Anthomyiid male, second is Muscid, someone will surely say more. If not, than try to post them separetly with a title like 'Anthomyiid from Norway' to attract specialists.

About N3 Bombus sp: maybe you can get help at hymis.de
N4 Eristalis: Try to post it (also separately) in the Syrphid forum. Regards, Walter

Thank you.
I will do individual posts if I can't figure it out or no one reples with the answer. Is there a key that can take me to genus level available online? 'Intkey' is nice, but to my knowledge it ends at 'family'.
