 Hi all,

I found this fly on a nettle 10 June 2008. It wasn't particularly keen on having its picture taken and disappeared shortly afterwards.

Size was ~4-5mm

Any chance on ID? Family? Genus? Species even? Smile
Thanks in advance!

 Difficult to say.
Might very well be the male of Melanophora roralis (Rhinophoridae).
