 Hi all,

Yesterday I saw this robberfly in the Netherlands. Can it be identified?
Size: medium sized, about 10 - 12 mm I guess. Landscape: dry heath with open sandy spaces.

Thanks,
Cor

 Thanks! Having gotten the name, I can see the description fits well....

Is this the female, then? (I'm new in flies, so totally unexperienced)

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
