This one's got me puzzled. Small, about 5mm, in wet meadow/mature hedge. S Devon, England. Your help, as ever, would be much appreciated. Tim tim worfolk attached the following image: [155.85Kb] Edited by tim worfolk on 05-06-2009 06:55 |

Neither. Sarcophagidae. the appendix to bend in vein M is a big clue. Most likely Nyctia halterata (even Seguy mistook it for a Rhinophoridae, so you are in good company !) Theo |
