Looks like Empididae to me, but that is no certainty.  8-10 mm Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [188.77Kb] Edited by Andre Burgers on 10-04-2016 13:45 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

I like the first picture, showing the thrips hiding from a predatory fly in the only safe place -- on the fly. Looks like Empis. The first picture shows forked R4+5. |

 I have a better photo of the thrips, but the fly came out far worse.Okidoki, it is a good old Empis. Difficult lot. Thanks, John!!
