Phasia hemiptera (female). It's hard to confirm the wing venation but the ginger pleural hairs are quite distinctive

Thank you, Chris. Apparently, the second photo, which I couldn't upload, and which shows the wing venation better, is not necessary.

Yes, I am happy with the first photo - would be nice to see the second, just in case though

Yeah, that's perfect (median vein is petiolate) - female P.hemiptera - you can even just make out the 'ovipositor'/piercer at the tip of the abdomen

Petiolate - nice word. I found you already explained its meaning in another thread. http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=32102 Edited by Menko Vlaardingerbroek on 07-08-2010 14:04 Kind regards Menko Vlaardingerbroek |

Perhaps we have met. I've spoken to several people who hadn't seen a short-toed eagle or moorland hawkers. Perhaps you were one of them.

No, because I did see it ! Very early in the morning, flying west. Apparently it stayed all day near Haulkerwijk, the ******. So far for the rarer birds. Theo |
