Are you sure about that Gunnar????????? Grin
Gunnar M Kvifte 17 March 2012 03:53:37
According to wikipedia, the largest tipulids can get 64 mm long. I haven't found any primary source for this, but 64 is higher than 60.
jorgemotalmeida 16 March 2012 13:38:23
"The flies range from 9–60 mm in body length and the Neotropical species Gauromydas heros (Perty, 1833; Mydidae: Mydinae) is believed to be the largest known Diptera."
jorgemotalmeida 16 March 2012 13:37:36
Gauromydas heros is supposed to be the largest dipteran so far. Check tinyurl.com/85jvjze and here --> mydidae.tdvia.de.

What's the limit on main forum posts? Or do I just keep crashing it?
Will van Niekerk 15 March 2012 12:03:34
I seem to recall reading that tropical species of Mydidae are the largest of all flies... so probably not that.
Tony Irwin 15 March 2012 10:28:37
Pantophthalmidae? -Chris will enlighten us!

What's the largest fly in the world, I bet its an Asilid or something? Grin

Perhaps open the image in a file editor, 'save as' under the same name and try again. Often helps to cure resource fork problems in the image.
Gordon 09 March 2012 04:55:55
Changing file name got the 2nd image to load but the first image is still refusing, second file name is the same but with an 'a' at the end.
