This male robberfly might be the same species as a female I photographed 15 minutes later. Travis County, near Austin, Texas, 7th June 2013. Here the thread of the female: http://www.dipter...d_id=60788 As I remember it, this male was quite a lot smaller than the female though, but I guess that's common.

Males of Promachus bastardii and related species have the white tail. When the white spot is not at the tip of the tail, but a band with black beyond, you probably have Efferia near albibarbis. See also http://www.hr-rna...20page.htm Edited by John Carr on 15-05-2014 12:46 |
