Hi,

Sorry for the very short DOF but I tried to make it artistic!
Do you have any idea of the family of those bugs? Tipulidae (killed) and empididae (killer)?

Cheers!

Hi,
The killer is Empis (Xanthempis) stercorea Linné, 1761.

Regards,

Igor

The killer is Empis, I think subgenus Xanthempis, prey can't be Tipulid, thos are much bigger. These Empidids are preadators, often they present a gift to females - also a killed fly.

Thanks so much, guys.

I have a doubt on Empis (Xanthempis) stercorea, as this bug has only one black stripe on the back.
stercorea has 3.
Wouldn't it be "scutellata"?

E. stercorea has one stripe only and so has E. aemula, but I agree with igor on stercorea.

Thank you Paul, you save me! I have seen many inconsistencies on internet so I needed to be sure!

Have a good day!

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
