There are quite a few of these around at my place at the moment. They like to just plonk down on open ground with wings outstretched and are quite happy to sit for a close up photograph. All help appreciated.

Hi Trev, Looks like Bombyliidae to me. Maybe David Gibbs can help. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |
