Thanks in advance for your advice.

Fantastic photo. Did you have a chance to observe the fly for while? Was it just resting? And is this a spider's egg sack? Was it hanging down from the vegetation? Did you collect fly and egg sack? I am asking all these things because I started to work on the genus' taxonomy some time ago.

Hi Christian,

The photo dates from 6 years ago so I can't remember the context in which it was taken. Except that I didn't collect anything. Sorry to disappoint you. Anyway good luck with your research.
Best regards,
David
