The photo was taken in Bras?lia, capital of the Brazil , in October 2006, near residential neibourghood, during the afternoon. The fly was above a leaf. The fly is about 7 mm. I have no idea what it might be. Jandira attached the following image:  [166.78Kb] |

A species of the Stratiomyidae, subfamily Sarginae. Reminds me of Ptecticus but I do not know if that genus occurs in South America.

Paul I saw a photo of a soldier fly -Ptecticus- in this site and , in fact, you are sure - is a ptecticus specie. Thanks Jandira http://www.stri.org/english/site_tools/photo_of_the_week/index.php?id=69 Smithsonian Institute |
