Based on our interactions on iNaturalist, I think you might enjoy this guide to identify your personal observations or others'.
Very cool! Does this cover Syrphini from the entirety of the listed states, e.g. even the parts of California that are more a part of the Pacific Northwest?
Nice work!
The diagnosis for each species should be equally valid throughout the listed states. Only at least somewhat common species from each area have been included--a more extensive, and correspondingly more impenetrable, set of notes is linked on the references slide for rare species. @kueda
Wow, that really is a clean way to show species compared to what I have usually found.
Thanks Even!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent ! Makes me want to get back to the States and get out into the wilds.
Well thought out. Concise and comfortable from the start
Cool! Thank you very much for doing this! This will help me a lot!
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this and to share it. The photos with explanatory labels will help a lot!
I've added an Identify link above for anyone interested.
Very happy to have this, thanks so much. No more shooting in the dark!
