Please post Asilid threads in the Asilidae forum. This is a Dioctria, I leave the species to the experts. The prey is a a Braconid or Ichenumonid wasp.

My guess is Dioctria baumhaueri - front & mid femora seem too dark for hyalipennis |

Thanks Chris I though have a doubt : are not now D. hyalipennis and baumhaueri synonyms ? I think I've read something like that from Nikita or Paul... Pierre OGER 4217 H?ron (BELGIUM) |

That's possible - I am going by Drake & Stubbs and they make the distinction but do mention there needs to be some work to discover whether they are one or two species |
