I found it in my garden on the 10th of November resting on a leaf and cleaning itself. I didn't find a match in the gallery. What could it be? Thanks!  A side-view, it has a pointy abdomen, bonitin attached the following image:  [68.5Kb] Edited by bonitin on 17-11-2008 14:51 |

No wonder I didn't find it, I was looking in the wrong family But now I found one in the Gallery: Stratiomyidae family; Sargus flavipes that also has that kind of African mask sculptured on its thorax, so perhaps it is that one or should I just call it Sargus sp.? |
