Die Schwebfliegen Europas: Endecken - Beobachten - Bestimmen

Description:

Text German. Hoverflies are fascinating aerial acrobats with a vibrant diversity of colours and forms. With 102 genera and nearly 1,000 species in Europe, they are one of the largest fly families worldwide. They are vital to our ecosystem, pollinating wild and cultivated plants and playing a crucial role in biological pest control. The introductory section of this innovative identification guide provides information on all important aspects of hoverfly biology, distribution, and life cycle. The second section presents all European hoverfly genera and their characteristics in detail. Two identification keys - a simplified one for beginners and a precise, detailed genus key - guarantee successful identification. Tips for observing, photographing, and collecting hoverflies complete this unique work.
