Thank you for the definition!

Here is another question that may be a little off topic, but it has been bothering me for a long time: do real Culicidae mosquitoes have males at all or not? If they do, why are they never seen? They only have blood-sucking females with proboscis.

Hmm, and how do you imagine the reproduction of mosquitoes? Parthenogenesis, as in stick insects?
No, they have males and are no less common than females. They (males) are easily distinguished by their densely branched antennae. And the proboscis of the males is quite developed. Males feed on nectar, not blood. By the way, females also need blood not for their own food, but for the development of the next batch of eggs. But there are mosquitoes in which the females suck not blood, but juices flowing from damaged branches, and nectar.

Well, not only stick insects, but also grasshoppers, even in our region. smile.gif
Even lizards have such species capable of parthenogenesis. I know about males with thick antennae, I've seen them, but they're too rare compared to females, and there are so many species of them! After all, females not only get caught when they attack for the sake of blood to get drunk, but also just accidentally fly into the country house and beat on the windows. And the males don't fly in.
That many mosquitoes feed on flower nectar, I know, even had to take a picture. Here's an example. Male or female?
If you do, it will be great!

A male, of course. Only this is not a bloodsucker at all, but a predator. Similar to Empis livida [Empididae].

Here is another photo of Cheilosia sp. "no better, either?"

picture: DSCN0932_10__.JPG


For the Leningrad region, I would suggest Cheilosia flavipes (Panzer, 1798) as a variant.
But you may have other similar views?

Ah, the pusher! I had such a vague suspicion, but the proboscis seemed too thin and the flower was confused - I thought that pushers are purely predators.


1. Can it be a female Empis livida? August 10.

2. And a couple more, April 24. Some early Empididae are already breeding in April. Of course, little can be seen, they were unsuccessfully removed.

Uh, no. I would not have taken females from photos.
By the way, there aren't many pure predators. Even tigers and lions sometimes indulge in weed. smile.gif
But the second picture is interesting - there the male brought the female prey, and while she eats it, he slowly does his job.

Yes, I read somewhere that if the male doesn't bring the female prey, she won't give it to him! smile.gif By the way, it is clear that the male has to hold both the female and the prey-so that it does not disappear along with the prey! smile.gif

Dmitry, Gennady Perstnev watched the pushers in Penza very interestingly and he has excellent photos. I caught a big buzzer in the summer in the" Penza Mongolia " area of the village of Bikmurzino in the morning on the steppe slope a large fly is gray-black with white stripes (it will be necessary to take a picture in the collection). In the field, I shot through a net - an amazing animal, I had previously caught such a small and very worn one, and this is a fresh one and probably a female...

It's hard to see through the grid, of course, but it looks very much like a female Bombylius ambustus.

Rather, Bombomyia stictica (or what is its correct name now?), and "small and very shabby" refers to a different genus.

Why "rather"? Bombomyia stictica should have longitudinal light stripes on the dorsum. And here they don't seem to be visible.

traced just + the wings are clearly darkened and the size can be estimated by comparing with the clover in the background.

comrades, please tell me if possible-there is no photo, there is nothing to take a high-quality photo, but I will try tomorrow... the situation is as follows: in the bumblebee hives used in greenhouses, some diptera have started up, a lot of them in the hive. When I take an old hive, and it gets old much earlier, there are piles of dead or very sluggish bumblebees in it and everything is covered with fly pupae, I don't see the larvae themselves... once observed for a long time, a fly very carefully examined the corpse of a bumblebee, clearly not with idle curiosity, but looking into all the sinuses on the body. bait (syrup) do not eat, devils... flies are small, yellowish - maybe someone has met similar ones in practice? parasites, symbionts - I have no idea, I really need to identify them... I tried to Google bumblebee parasites - to no avail(

Yes, I understand everything, sometimes I can write this myself, especially from the phone.
Simply, the questioner can start searching through Google and will not be able to find it. I can give him a hint. It is clear that you know everything correctly

Good afternoon! Please tell me if it is possible to identify these flies at least up to the family.

1 photo - from the finch feed from 07.05.17, length 5 mm
. 2-3 photos - from the blackbird feed from 08.05.17, length also 5 mm.

In both cases, the material is from Rogachevsky district, Gomel region, Belarus.

I would like to thank you in advance.
