Chris Raper wrote: Diptera - Stratiomyidae You are right, Chris! I never seen before a Stratiomyidae fly. This is the first one I saw! The long antennas did cheat me.  I think that is possible to reach, at least, genus level, but in diptera gallery I didn?t find any like this one. |

This species is really funny because it moves the antennas alternatively back and forth.
