Setae on the body, leg structure (males), patterns of pollinosity (mainly on the sides of the thorax). Sending it over would be much easier. ;)

Wouldn't be a problem if you give me your address, there are several in my garden :)
Dry or in alcohol?
There is a key of the sepsidae available on internet?

The address is
HERE. I prefer them in alcohol, but any will do.
I do not know a key on the internet but perhaps google boks shows (some?) of the Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica book.
