Identification of Diptera (flies, mosquitoes, etc.)

It is hard to believe in a bee, neither in size (relatively small), nor in appearance, nor in color. I thought it was some kind of beekeeper or wasp.Interesting "golden" fly, I meet it exclusively on burdocks.But it is not yet possible to determine. Thank you for pointing us to the site.

I can't yet determine the exact species, but it also seems to me that this is some kind of parasitic bee.

And the "golden" fly is some kind of representative of the Tephritidae family. I can't get to the view from the photo. With collectible copies from this family, there are eternal problems with the definition.

Please tell me what kind of flies are these?

Please tell me what kind of flies are these?

These are sirfids.

First photo-Volucella pellucens (Linnaeus, 1758)
The second photo is Eristalis. I can't tell what it looks like. Now massively collect eristalis, I plan to deal with this genus in the winter. I hope to be more precise next year.

It doesn't seem to be a bee or a wasp, but a hymenopteran,and on the other hand it's so strange for flies to be paired.Who is it? Does anyone know?

It seems to be 9170042-Eristalis sp.

Please tell me the names of these sirfids. Thank you in advance!

1-the genus Helophilus, now there is no time, in the evening I will try to say up to the species
2 - scarit is absolutely right - this is Eristalis. Up to the form I hardly.

Dear forumchane, help determine what kind of insect is in the photo.
this species lives here in Tashkent in one of the districts. other areas don't have them.
in the evenings, it flies into the windows open in heaps, hangs around the lamps and dies in the morning.

Goldeneye

This is a golden-eyed bird from the order Reticuloptera (Neuroptera)

1-the genus Helophilus, now there is no time, in the evening I will try to say up to the species
2 - scarit is absolutely right - this is Eristalis. I don't think I'll look like it.

1 Helophilus affinis I think. But the photo is very difficult of course.

Hello! Can you tell me what these flies are called correctly? Thank you in advance!

Good afternoon
such a story with my friend

..a fly sits down, nothing terrible in general, well, a fly sat down, I slapped my hand on it, I still thought to myself, like how cool, I hit the fly the first time, well, I killed it. It was not there, the fly abruptly flew to my back, well, I also slapped it there, it flies again, and I almost always hit it. That's when I got my first bout of fluff, shook off a fly, and ran to the kitchen to get a towel and Mr. Muscle just in case. I return to the room, so the fly is sitting on the wall, in the most visible place and I feel the booty, looking at me, well, I think I got it, this is a mutant man-eating fly, all sorts of scary movies immediately came to mind, in short, I think it's better to fall in battle than like this vegetable, so I went on the attack, with a wet towel and I beat the fly pretty hard, it landed on me two or three times, the king managed to knock it down on the floor, I finally pressed it down with a towel and trampled it thoroughly. I keep thinking, finally a victory, I decided to carefully unfold the towel in the bathroom, you never know the mutant survived, I started to unfold it, and it breaks out and is alive, even the wings are not crumpled, here I peretrukhal for the second time, like a man-eating fly. In short, I managed to put it in a glass jar, so I'm sitting now and I'm afraid, maybe it will chew through the glass?
Pictures are attached, she is really strange, so short, stocky, flat even, the ass is so forked, and the bitch runs fast, almost faster than flying..
here it
is what is it and why is it not killed by a towel

To pael:
This is a really dangerous fly - Muchus mutantis ssp. cannibalicus.

Yes, quite a standard hippoboscida-probably Ornithomya.

scarit
A strange reaction at the sight of an interesting fly is to grab a towel. I usually grab the camera. After all, this is not Africa with its tse-tse. And the fact that these flies stick to swallows or other animals is their own business.

VSB it seems to me that this is quite a common pose for mated babble flies - I often meet babblers from the genus Temnostoma in this position, they sit so for a while, and then the female begins to flutter over the flowers, and the male hangs limply upside down.

Yes, everything happens to people. Well, a person has seen enough American horror movies ("Fly", etc.), grabbed a towel. Hippoboscidae is no joke!

Some healthy sirfids. Caught on 13.06.2009 in the Istra district of the Moscow region. Dried until 15.08.2009 and, as it seems to me, became fat and changed the color of the abdomen. And the eyes also turned black like. They were blue-green. As they say, I hope and hope

Did I correctly identify this cute fly as Urophora cardui ?

These are horseflies. The first one seems to be Tabanus, but the second one is unclear, is it Chrysops?

And the second is Heptatoma pellucens Fabricius, 1777
We have a common animal in the Flax region, but in your steppes with it probably not very....
also a horsefly, of course.

Like it is.

Pirx, Alex, thank you! In general, of course, he himself could have guessed that these were horseflies And tabanus could not be brought to view in any way?

And what is this unusual fly? The photo was taken in the South Kazakhstan region, Kyungey Alatau, Kolsai Lakes.

I spent a lot of time with horseflies and found that I couldn't identify this group from the photo. Only by instance. By the way, for tabanuses, it would be good to look at the nature of the stripes on the eyes on a non-dried copy and write it on the labels. On a dried specimen, these stripes disappear.

It looks like a sirfid of some sort. I'll think about it over the weekend, and I'll probably tell you later.

Sphegina sp., female. For Kazakhstan, this should be interesting, in the sense of defining up to the type, but it is difficult for me to say anything.

I would be very grateful for a "hint" ... The fly is originally from Croatia (Zadar, Dalmatia)

Lionfly (Stratiomyidae)?

Lionfly (Stratiomyidae)?

He would have given me a chance to make a mistake first, and then corrected me

Mlin, I didn't notice, you have a question.... in my opinion, there is no doubt-levinka definitely. But I've never seen one like it, not even in a photo

Don't worry, I've never seen one like it either.

Female operdelit will be difficult.... flies are very polymorphic....

Truly so!

And who is this ktyr from Dalmatia, plz?

If my vision doesn't change, I've spent a lot of time reading unnecessary books (the ophthalmologist said: what do you want, you're not 15 years old, so that one hundred percent was), then the upper one is Volucella inanis, the lower one is V. pellucens. Arista in both long-feathered. Both are located in Novosibirsk. What do you say? PLZ.

It looks like everything is correct. Here on the macroid I found:

I would agree.
Actually, I'm not an expert, but all my inanis are the size of pellucens (you can't confuse them), and zonaria is much larger. Or am I being stupid?

For three + a large (hopefully) N, you can already figure it out.
Let them not take this as separatism (in a bad sense of the word)

This one, M. B., Spilomyia diophthalma? Novosibirsk. And eyes with a stripe, just named ... M.? b. , or not M.?
