Hi, I'm a newbie with entomology and especially with diptera, and english is not my mother language, but I'll try to make it...  Here is some Bombyliidae I found near Chalon/Saone (Burgundy, France), on 5th June 2004. Length was 5 mm av. and wingspan 10 mm.    I've been told maybe it could be Bombylius ater (Thanks to Paul Beuk !) Can anyone confirm this ID or submit another one ? Thanks ! Edited by Arthropa on 09-03-2007 23:17 Benoit MARTHA  |

Bombylella atra (Scopoli 1763) in Fauna Europaea too. Cuurent placement. But watch this space. Generic name changes are a real problem. Great fly nice shots . Robert |
