Thread subject: Diptera.info :: another Bulgarian Asilid

As explained in my previous postings I recently returned from co-leading my annual tour to Bulgaria where my main role is as a Botanist, though I can never resist looking for interesting insects! Following my previous posting I think this is another Asilid, though perhaps rather less distinctive than the previous one. iNonetheless I am hopeful that someone might perhaps be able to suggest an identification. This one was caught in meadows near Samokov on 2 July 2015.

Many thanks as always

Alan

Looks like a male Dasypogon diadema.

Very many thanks Piros and best wishes to you too.

It is a new species to me.
