Hi, I found this interesting looking fly on sunday,not one i can remember seeing before. Rough guess 15mm,found in north Cornwall in a sunny woodland clearing,with ancient mixed and connifer plantation on either side,sat on long grass with a river nearby. As usual when i need to post here,i could only guess at the family ..mouthparts dont seem right,but Asilidae maybe ? I dont have a clue really  thankyou. fleabag attached the following image:  [78.83Kb] |
