Hello, this fly from wich I can't remember the size, is from July 2011 from near Neuss (germany) - probably from a border of a road. What is it? Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [19.41Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 24-07-2012 05:10 |

Looks like Pachygaster - Stratiomyidae

Thank you for yor answer Chris. Then it should be Pachygaster ater, because the other species - leachii - has yellow thighs. Michael |

Pachygaster is Greek for "thick abdomen." |
