Yes - Stratiomyidae Smile

PS: please use different titles for each new posting - otherwise they all look the same and people will miss them Wink

Some people just add a number - or the date you took the photo - or just "fly with long antennae" as a brief but unscientific description Smile It just helps people (like me) who use the "New Posts" page Wink

Unfortunately, changing the title of the image makes it disappear from your initial post, making it virtually worthless... Sad

Hmm, perhaps confusing changing the subject/title with changing the filename? awkward Either way, just uploading the image again should fix it Smile
