| | | Two flies and a bee unknown to me
Could anyone help me along the way with a more positive Id on these three. I think I have a pair of Asilid flies; a Platystoma fly; and an Andrena bee. Having trouble getting to species though..........

I think there is no chance of getting the bee down to species. It is a very old and tatty specimen, and I simply can't see the necessary bits on this pic! |

Thanks for having a look

The paired flies are Dioctria atricapilla and the next is Coremacera marginata (Diptera, Sciomyzidae). |
