Not to inflate the number of messages too much, I collect a number of Bombylids in this message. They are al from SW Turkey, same week, so thematiccally this thread is coherent.

1. First is from Pinara, ca 400 m alt. Along rough road with steep sides, mountainous environment. It took me a lot of effort to get this mediocre shot - but it's such a nice fly!

7. Patara too. Hemipenthes velutina? But last years' specimen I photographed missed the white band on tip of abdomen. Otherwise quite similar.

I also photographed one specimen with 3 white bands, one on T1, one in middle of abdomen, and one on tip. Same species?

the last is a Therevidae fly... maybe Thereva?

The second is an Heteralonia, and I think the fourth is also an Heteralonia. The third and the five I don't know them... but they are awesome!
