When I watch this insect with the naked eye, I immediately thought it was an ant, then through the viewfinder of the camera I saw that the creature had wings, well never mind, some ants have wings, but then I look in the eyes, antennae and mouth and I have nothing sure, two wings but abdomen of ant, I do not know if it is a diptera or Hymenoptera.

Looks like Sepsidae (Diptera)

I don't see a black spot on the wings. Species of this family without the spot are Nemopoda nitidula and Thermira. Regards, Thijs http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm |

Not enough details are visible on the photo's, but, looking at the photo's my first idea it is a Nemopoda. The anterior legs are quite yellowish. Most, not all, most of the Themira have much darker legs.Since some species of Nemopoda are rather similar and sometimes for the females it is next to impossible to separate them (nitidula and pectinulata)
