Hello! Compared to the Dilophus febrilis I know, this female was very large, about 8 mm. Different species? Found on May-04 at our house (northwest Germany).

Did you really measure it ? It must have been less. Anyway, it is the female of Dilophus febrilis. Theo |

Hello, Theo! Zeegers wrote: Did you really measure it ? It must have been less. I did not measure it, but it was really much larger than other individuals also at other parts of the wall at the same time. Below one, I estimated about 5 mm. Anyway, it is the female of Dilophus febrilis. Thanks!

Actually, there is a 'giant' Dilophus febrilis female sitting on the window right in front of me, and that certainly measures at least 8 mm. Including the antennae it would be more...
