Thanks for your help

Limosininae, possible Leptocera or Rachipsoda. Did you collect specimens?

Thanks Smile
Excuse me Paul, I'm only an amateur lover of natural world, including Diptera. I've never collected any specimen. Unless I could find some dead, in which case I could pick it up and send it if I knew the method to use.

Is Limosininae a subfamily ?

Best regards
