Is this Exorista, or am I wide of the mark again? And can anything be said as to species - I guess not if it's an Exorista.

Today, 22/5/2009; S Devon; wet (very) meadow.

Thanks

Tim

Yes, I would say it looks like an Exorista (most likely rustica) - the golden, yellow dusting on the head, longish body, parafacial bristles, white hairs behind the head all point to this :)

I agree


Exorista subg. Adenia, so the rustica group.
