Looks like a Phasia subg. Hyalomyia. John might know more. Theo |

Probably Strongygaster triangulifera, usually a beetle parasite.

Always nice to know you are not a lonely fool.... thanks THe pattern on thoracic dorsum is quite similar to our Strongygaster, but of course this cannot be thought to be of generic relevance... generally. Theo |
