Last Monday I go to high mountain (Batisielle's Lakes, abut 1800 meters high) to find some alpine insects. One of my objetives are find a Laphria. I found it, but... the fly don't let me approach very close and my camera made a striking white picture (always that are full sun, my camera make bad photos).

Well, but maybe is possible the identification...

This fantastic robberlfy sizes about 4 cm long. Habitat: alpine grassland with Rhododendron ferrugineum and rocks.
