#Helina_evecta (heeft geen Nederlandse naam) is een middelgrote bloemvlieg (Diptera: Muscidae) met grijsbruin lichaam, duidelijke lengtestrepen op het borststuk en donkere poten. Ze leeft in bossen en tuinen; de larven ontwikkelen zich in rottend organisch materiaal.

It’s an excellent feeling to identify flies
Muscidae aren’t my group so the @ukmuscidae.bsky.social @dipteristsforum.bsky.social workshop is brilliant for me
Using both @entmikeashworth.bsky.social and James McGills new keys, this is Polietes hirticus - a northern spp (this one from Cumbria)

How many times have I said this during my fly lectures much to the dismay of the students
Some flies are difficult to identify but they are so worth it!!

Es probable que sea Phaonia serva (Muscidae), un macho. Además de por su pinta, porque son de esta época y les gustan mucho las flores amarillas

De #Coenosia_spec is een kleine roofvlieg uit de familie #Muscidae. Deze slanke, vaak grijs gekleurde vliegen jagen actief op kleine insecten en vangen die tijdens korte vluchten vanaf een zitplaats. De soort is hier niet nader bepaald.
