Hello friends, last week I have filmed an insect, I strongly think it is a member of diptera, but I cannot think at all of which family it belongs. Even to find out the family would be enough for me. Here is the link to my youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkL4dSFoono YouTube Video And here are some screenshots of my video clips. (there are more). I have found the insect in the south of germany, last Saturday (25th may 2013) while cutting grass under some Appletrees. It has been sitting on the top of a grass. Not very mobile, since the last month has been very cold and rainy and this day was cold too, about 9° Celsius. The insect has a body length of about 1 cm. Can you help me? Thanks a lot for you efforts! Steve SteveMcFly attached the following image:  [31.38Kb] Edited by SteveMcFly on 28-05-2013 13:01 |

Thanks Paul, but do you have also a clue, in which family this "white-bearded" fly is belonging? |

Its not that visible, but I believe the crossvein at the base of cell r is surrounded by a white spot. That would make this Myopa buccata. Greets, Ectemnius |
