Hello Forum, again a fly from the alder marshland in Hagen (D) 175 m above sea level. This photo I took on June 23rd 2007. The plant in the background is Heracleum sphondyleum. May be the fly belongs to the Tachinidae. Is a closer determination possible? Best wishes Josef |

Tachinidae. Phasia. Maybe P. hemiptera female.

Chris is right, for other reasons, though. In Phasia teh eyes are even closer in females (very unusual !!). However, it's really very simple: In males the wings are strongly darkened, in females they are completely transparent Theo |
