I think this is an Asilidae. I found it indoors today in Suffolk, UK. It is about 1.8 cm long. Although not obvious in this photo, I checked the top of the head and it is concave with a little platform for the ocelli. Is there enough information in the photo to determine the species?

Hi Martin, A male Tolmerus (Machimus, Epitriptus) cingulatus (Asilidae). Should be 10-14mm. Its regular on sandy soils in Suffolk. Cheers, Steve Edited by sd on 31-07-2013 21:18 |
