Hi everyone,

What do you think of this fly? Could it be Eurina ducalis?

Hi!
I am not an expert, but I think I know both E. calva and E. ducalis(collected several of both), and based on this limited experience I would say you are right.

Greetings,
Henrik

Hi again piros,

Could you please let us know what are your best criteria to separate ducalis from calva?
