 Photographed in mountain area (600 meters above sealevel), in Bodø, northern Norway. Date is 06.07.2011. Size around 10 mm. Guess it's Asilidae, but rarely see this type of flies.

 I think this is Therevidae - not Asilidae ... note that it doesn't have a stout forward-pointing proboscis Smile

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
