Hello, Périgord (south of France), 30/VII/2008, 270 masl, size about 5-6mm. With such a femur, could it be H. femoratus? pierred attached the following image:  [68.28Kb] Edited by pierred on 30-09-2008 06:51 Pierre Duhem |

Paul, Thanks a lot. Looking in then book of Pjotr Oosterbroek, I learned that they are predators and I cannow see that there is a prey between the hind legs, maybe a Pterophoridae. Edited by pierred on 30-09-2008 06:44 Pierre Duhem |

I think the prey is a gall midge (Cecidomyiidae).
