If I don't already put it, and you are interested, please ask me for the reasoning for my identification, so that you only agree to things that you can also prove. (Also this just helps everyone learn more.)

Refer to the Field/Photo ID Guide for Flies that @edanko and I maintain to learn how to identify your favorite species (with an emphasis on Syrphidae)! If you have suggestions or want to contribute/help make a guide, reach out to us!

Here's a list of my identifications by species that you can check out to see what groups I identify the most! (Note that this is of all time, not just recently.)
