Did I hurt any rules, or is that nice fly unknown. Thanks for comments, Siga |

I think you are right, it is Bombylius sp. (and a very attractive one), but I can't suggest a species. However, a rather similar fly can be seen here from Turkey: http://www.corzonneveld.nl/diptera/Asiloidea/Bombyliidae/Bombyliinae/Bombylius%20378%20med.jpg and here: http://www.corzonneveld.nl/diptera/Asiloidea/Bombyliidae/Bombyliinae/Bombylius%20379%20med.jpg Greetings, Heneik |

Thanks for the hint. I suppose its the same species. I watched ''my'' fly for many minutes, because it was not shy and did not mind my many attempts to get a good photo, which with my camera means to approach a distance from only a few cm. It usually stayed flying without changing position only a few cm above the sandy ground. When I approached to close, it changed position for less then one m and then stayed flying there. More impressing than the black-white stripes on Notum were the black-white stripes on abdomen, that unfortunately are not well to see at the photo So the species seems to be the No 378 lol |
