  1. das könnte eine der schlupfwespen sein, die die schwebfliege von eben nachmacht, eine aus der Gattung Aoplus.
    Aoplus, das klingt wie eine krankenkassen-App... aber egal, ich schweife ab. ich hatte gehofft, dass der weiße streifen in den fühlern es einfach macht die zu bestimmen, aber pustekuchen 🤷
    die fotos sind auch nicht wirklich gut geworden

  2. eine schwebfliege, die mal nicht so tut, als sei sie ein schwarzgelbes stechinsekt, sondern einen auf schlupfwespe macht:

    Rote Holzmulmschwebfliege
    Brachypalpoides lentus
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachypa

    was es nicht alles gibt, ne?
    ob das kleine gelbe kügelchen da rechts ein ei ist oder nur ein tröpfchen ausscheidungen weiß ich nicht. ich vermute letzteres.

  6. If you're making mosquito-killing buckets, a great way to monitor for larvae is to add a white yogurt lid. And if you see them, add another chunk of Mosquito Dunk ASAP or dump everything out and start over. They also permit you to easily see egg rafts and thus get confirmation that mosquitoes are indeed visiting. (The photo here has many rafts but the two in the lid are easy to find.) Larvae and egg rafts are really hard to see in murky water inside dark buckets. #mosquitoes #diptera

  24. I may have gone slightly overboard with the #focusstacking, but it worked. Improved the lighting a bit, and returned the #frankenscope to the photo tent. Still more to be done. The long legs made me miss a few corners, so in the end that's ~250 stacks with a total of ~50000 captures, all for one #gnat. Might be a #mycomya from the antenna colours, tiger stripes and wing veination?

    Unfortunately, the usually excellent book delivery service for the public libraries went bankrupt, so I cannot just order keys from the universities. Might be I will find a key online. As usual, I'd be happy for any id help, as far as that is possible from the pictures.

  28. Teniendo en cuenta que hoy es sábado sabadete... Trypetoptera punctulata. "Cópula de este diminuto díptero, de apenas 5 mm. de longitud y distribución mediterránea. Los adultos pueden localizarse de mayo a octubre.

  29. Of the flies I saw today, this one is my favourite. It's the ngaro tara or three-lined Hover Fly (*Helophilus seelandicus*), a New Zealand endemic species.

    I like the sleek colour pattern. It would not look out of place on a coverable sports car.

    While the adult is sleek, the larva is a rat-tailed maggot with a long snorkle out its rear end that allows it to eat decomposing matter in stagnant water.

    I saw this while on my weekly biodiversity run this afternoon through Ōtautahi-Christchurch city, NZ.

  30. There's a new fly in town.

    While out for a run yesterday, in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, I noticed this unusual orange-headed black fly. I uploaded my photos to #iNaturalist when I got home and learned that it's the Australian Soldier Fly, *Inopus rubriceps*. This looks to be the first record of it anywhere in the South Island south of Nelson.

    The species is a minor pasture pest and is well-established in NZ's North Island, where it was first seen in 1944.

    As the world warms, NZ continues to fill with Australian insects. They first establish in the North Island then spread southwards. The pattern is repeating over and over. In this case, the two Australian parasitoid wasps (Neurogalesus spp.) that feed on *Inopus rubriceps* have also already established in the North Island.

    *Inopus rubriceps* is a distinctive fly, especially the female which has the orange head (the male is all black). Keep an eye out and you might find some more of them.

  37. Oukkal et al. find that, unlike endoparasitoid hymenopterans, endoparasitoidism in tachinid flies is not associated with viral domestication, possibly due to differences in venom use and host immune system avoidance.
