A female, unknown genus, of the subfamily Asilinae. Antonio, any chance you have more shots of this 'serene' fly? Might help me make an ID. |

Thanks Antonio; now I can see that you certainly have a female Threnia sp., probably carbonaria. The males of this genus have very characteristic genitalia. |
