Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Bulgarian Asilid 1

I still have images of two species, that I believe to be Asilidae, from my Bulgaria tour that are as yet unidentified. Unfortunately I was unable to capture the specimens but if it is possible for identification from these images it would be most appreciated. This first one was from Banderitsa on 3 Aug 2011.

Many thanks

Alan

Many thanks to you both. As I put this in the wrong family clearly my brain is not yet back in gear after the Christmas festivities!

Happy New Year
