Hi everyone ! I just wondered what happened to this Empididae when I saw it first time : thought some elephant had to crush its abdomen. But since then, I met several other specimens with such curious abdomen apex, so I came to the conclusion they should be males exhibiting genitalia  This one came to light, on 19th april 2009 in my garden, in Fragnes (Burgundy, France). It was av. 10 mm long.  (Clic on picture for bigger size)  (Clic on picture for bigger size) This one should be some Empis, right ? Is it possible to determine species ? Thanks Benoit Benoit MARTHA  |

Yellow Empis with three black stripes on yellow background. Genitalia are specific as well.
