Hello, Let's see if there are some Bombyliidae specialist !  This one is from Macon (Burgundy, France).   Wingspan 20 mm - 2nd April 2005 It looks like Bombylius major to me, but there are probably some other species I don't know which may look that way ? Is it possible to determine Bombylius species from photos ? Thanks ! Edited by Arthropa on 09-03-2007 23:22 Benoit MARTHA  |

Is indeed a Bombylius major. There are not too many Bombylius with a dark front wing margin and clear wings beyond. In this case the dark front margin is entire (end part is not disconnected), pointing to major. |
