Is this Exorista, or am I wide of the mark again? And can anything be said as to species - I guess not if it's an Exorista. Today, 22/5/2009; S Devon; wet (very) meadow. Thanks Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [118.19Kb] |

Yes, I would say it looks like an Exorista (most likely rustica) - the golden, yellow dusting on the head, longish body, parafacial bristles, white hairs behind the head all point to this

I agree Exorista subg. Adenia, so the rustica group. Theo |
