Identification of Diptera (flies, mosquitoes, etc.)

Hemiphentes maurus? June 23, Karelia.

  Hemiphentes maurus? June 23, Karelia.

Absolutely CORRECT

Hello! Please help me clarify the type of buzz, if possible:



May 8, Pushkinsky district, Moscow region. On a muscari flower.

Thank you in advance!

I picked up this fly yesterday (it was too painful to catch the eye while sitting on a nettle).
13.05.2012 Moscow region, Zheleznodorozhny.
It became interesting. Some kind of lion's head? It doesn't look like it.....

This is a male babbler of the genus Xanthogramma. Most likely X. pedissequum (99%), although X. stackelbergi is also possible (you can't really tell from this angle).

Thanks! Just in case, I took a picture of my underwear.
Maybe this will clarify something

As I understand you, this is the sort of thing that started my interest in sirfids a quarter of a century ago. By the way, this genus has a remarkable feature - the color does not fade at all. I have a copy of the 1985 zh capture still bright yellow.
Vasily, start collecting the sirfid as well. I will help you with literature and material

As I understand it, still X. pedissequum?

Exactly.

Did mine buzz?

Did mine buzz?

nikittokk, do you think it is possible for people to identify it before the appearance of such images?
I had previously killed my babbling bird because I knew that it was sooo difficult to determine a fly "in years". Only assume possible Bombylius sp.

I'm just a beginner, I don't know which photos are better to determine Thanks!

Exactly.

(bowing low.) Thank you, sensei

take the last two photos of Vasily as an example.

To know which photos are best to identify, you need to know what features you need to identify.
To know by what criteria it is necessary to determine, you need to read the literature, which is quite a trivial task to get. Or to annoy the local elders, but only with constructive questions.
To read literature, you need to have the desire to read it.
As you can see, everything is quite simple.

Hello, dear good people.
First, I want to apologize for not being able to show you anything other than this idiotic drawing.:
http://s02.radikal.ru/i175/1205/a8/a018cae00e27.jpg
I'm not sure I can take a picture of this unknown thing, because it's flying...
But I'd really like to know what it is, because:
(location-Moscow, May 12)
I came across these insects in gigantic, gigantic, gigantic numbers on my usual way to uni (i.e. in the middle of the city, a small park on one side, a roadway on the other). For about half a kilometer, they flickered at the bottom and high above with a maximum concentration of about 4 pcs / m2. All the passers-by I asked said that they had never seen them before and were very afraid of them. And by the idiotic drawing (see above), no one will recognize them. In Yandex blogs, I found several entries from that day about strange insects. I was sure that the next day on TV will be broadcast about mutants and the apocalypse, but as you can see.
In the evening they were gone. And today, despite the fact that it got colder, I met 3 more individual pieces. I'm very curious about what it is, and whether it's dangerous.

Description:
Very black, nasty, like a hybrid of a fly and a mosquito, how can it sit with this one here?, flies like a sleepy fly, ignores the presence of people until it accidentally flies up to them a couple of centimeters (then turns).

Thank you in advance.

ADF: the sizes can be quite large, about one and a half very-common-strongly-buzzing-flies.
About the picture - the forked thing is bifurcated not horizontally, but vertically. The upper part is an extension of the torso. So I don't understand how it can sit at all...
(probably obvious, but the white bar is the error of the pin)

Bibionidae?
Not like that?

Not exactly the same as in the picture, but some on the Internet (for example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bibionidae.jpg) are somewhat similar. Although it's still not very good. Unless they have all their paws tucked into the lower branch in an Idiotic Drawing.
I would be very grateful if there are any more suggestions.

In general, both of these branches hang somehow relaxed, and quite thin and weak.

(meanwhile, I'm trying to find out what it is myself. I learned the new word "ktyr" and am in a slight panic, whether they are not).

You can't take a photo?

Some bibionidae are most likely: we have a lot of them now.

Pollenia sp.

Hello again, good people, you're all right, it's them, it's really THEM!!! It's just that when they sit, they don't look like themselves at all, so I didn't recognize them from the photo... and today it was raining, and I saw them crawling with wet wings!
Although it's a bit of a pity that they're not mutants.
Today, half a kilometer from the same place, I came across another gigantic colony (or maybe the same one). I wonder where so many of them come from? Why has it never happened before?..

We have always had plenty of them (Bibionidae). It's just that you probably didn't pay attention

Look, pliz, diptera, maybe someone will identify... Almost all of them are located in Severodonetsk, Komar-Novoaydar, Luhansk region

Is there anything else you can tell from my flies?"

Isn't 7 Eristalis interrupta?

Isn't 7 Eristalis interrupta?

I don't know how to get to the view from the photo. I seem to have sorted out all of them in the collection. and here alas....

For fans of diptera who want to relax mentally, and as an example of what you can and should strive for in your hobby or work-I recommend: profile of diptera. info member Anthony Thomas (nickname Tony T) http://www.diptera.info/profile.php?lookup...eads&rowstart=0
Down there, you can switch between topics and posts, which contain amazing (I'm not afraid of these words) photos of this Canadian naturalist.

Isn't 7 Eristalis interrupta?

Possibly a female of this species. Unfortunately, without seeing the face in the first place, you can only guess. And it can also be dark E. arbustorum, E. abusiva, etc. kinds. It is better to catch them and run them through the table at least by A. A. Stackelberg in the "Green" - they are quite well defined.

Please tell me what it is? Thank you in advance!

The fly is a pollinator of the pemphigus. Is it possible to determine? Moscow, today.
