 Three views against a 2mm background grid of a terminally ill Phaonia.
Dorsal view attached, lateral and ventral views to follow.

It was found in a very lethargic state on 07 Jan 2008 in East Lincs, UK., and in a last defiant gesture, produced four eggs before she died during the photo shoot.
I am presuming Phaonia from the wing venation and tibia bristles.
Would that be right?
But, then there is the query over species.
Suggestions please.

 .... and that did not work either! :-)

It was a 28K .jpg but I got an invalid filename or file size error message.
Time for bed methinks.

 As far as I can see, it is Phaonia subventa (fore tibiae with 1 post setae, pre acr, mid tibiae with 2 post s.)

Greetings.
Stephane.
