 I saw this robberfly in Dutch dunes (Amsterdamse Waterleiding Duinen) last sunday. In open terrain, bare sand patches within dry grassy vegetation. Trees and forest nearby. Medium sized robberfly, say 12 - 15 mm.

I thought that the white spines on the scutellum give away its identity. Is that correct?

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
