This fly invited the lovage in my garden. Could it be an Anthrax anthrax(ominous name..? Otherwise, as if the wingpattern would be slightly different from those in the gallery.

---

yes. Anthrax anthrax. But let?s go wait for David Gibbs... I also have a Bombylella photo to confirm.

---

Nope, to my opinion it's Hemipenthes morio....

John

---

due the brownish hues in body?

---

?? Nope the wingpattern, A. Anthrax doesn't have such sharp edge between the black and the clear wing..

John

---

So this is H. morio, too?
In May, at Lake Thun, Switzerland.

Ok. It's clear now.

Hi Maja,

I'ld say it is!

John

High, everybody

I noticed that there are some difficulties with Anthrax (I too have). But I think I found out, that Anthrax anthrax must have white spots on its back.

Likely to that that I attach.

And the above photos with that reasinign could not be A. anthrax

Or is mine no A. anthrax too?

Greetings, Siga

This I would say is a very fresh and not fully coloured Anthrax anthrax.

John

Thanks

I have twor or three other pictures of A. anthrax, only a few minutes after shedding and with green dust on it together with a bladder. Maybe its from some desease. I'll start a new thread with that.
