Hello, yesterday I found on a inland dune in Berlin a fly with orange legs. Who can help me to determine the species?  Michael Edited by DerAndereMicha on 06-06-2013 17:34 -- my Homepage |

Nice to hear from you, but with a pic would still be nicer! Regards, Sundew |

Sure, a nice one! Syrphidae, Chalcosyrphus spec. (compare mine in http://www.dipter...d_id=48510). Yours seems to be less hairy on the legs, so perhaps another species. Let us wait for the Syrphidologists  .

Thank you for specifying the genus. Now I have checked the "StN KEYS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF ADULT EUROPEAN SYRPHIDAE". If my photo shows a female, than this is Chalcosyrphus valgus. On another photo you can see the dark brown haltere knob. Michael Edited by DerAndereMicha on 07-06-2013 13:39 -- my Homepage |

Thanks for the most valuable key! On the one hand, it enables us to ID not referring mainly to jizz. On the other hand, one learns how many important characters can hardly be seen in a photograph... |
