 Hi,

I have photographed this fly 40km SW of Paris.
About 10mm long.
Any idea about its identity? Thanks for help.
Cheers,

FRV

 Sciomyzidae, maybe Sepedon sphegea.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
