4+mm Clitheroe England 13 May 2010. Does the modified male metatarsus mean this is Hilara sp.? Why isn't the prey wrapped in silk? Stephen R attached the following image:  [114.28Kb] |

Here's another pair from four days later. The wing looks like Empis, but the metatarsus still seems enlarged. Does this happen in Empis? Ah, now I see in the Gallery that Empis chioptera has the big metatarsus, so maybe it is that. Stephen R attached the following image:  [113.57Kb] Edited by Stephen R on 27-05-2010 11:12 |
