Hi, This is a small fly of today. (The light was very bad, so these are my best pics.) I consider it a Rhinophorid resembling Rhinophora lepida, but the latter looks a bit different on my earlier photos. The new one is somewhat shorter as to abdomen and also petiolus. ID help is appreciated! Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [181.08Kb] Edited by Sundew on 14-05-2010 21:59 |

Looks like Microsoma exiguum (Tachinidae).
Stephane. |

Indeed it does! And I should have recognized it  ... Oh, that petiole, how often did it lead me in the wrong direction (in this case, to Rhinophoridae). The only thing I may be proud of is that I excluded Rhinophora lepida. Microsoma it is, thanks! |

As long as the month is still May, don't worry about Rhinophora. Theo |
