All the Bombyliidae I know have two veins that meet the costa at right angles? Don't see that in this specimen.

Well I guess you can see the veins 'trying' to form a right angle. Thanks.

For your interest, the specimen pictured is near other Bombyliidae on a taxon ID tree from BOLD.

Looks like a bombylid to me too - best change the title to attract Dave ;)

There should be an EDIT button on your posts - just go to the first one in a thread and click on this button. Then just change the 'Subject' field and save it :)
