Hello,

i hope that a determination of this bombyliid is possible? It was basking on a stone on a clearance (small wood). I think it belongs to the genus Villa.

Location: Amöneburg (Germany/Hesse); ~ 295m above sea level; May 2011

Thank you very much for attention!
Stefan

It is a male Villa, and further identification is hardly possible (see discussion in thread http://72.44.83.9...;pid=41095 ;)).

Hello Sundew,

thank you very much for your contribution (and the interesting link)! So there is no chance to identify this fly by photo...

Best regards
Stefan
