Hello, In March 2021 I offered you this large female Empis https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=99911 And in March 2020 I photographed a large male https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=99834 On April 01, 2024, still in the same garden in the south of France, I saw this female which seems quite close to me and which I was able to photograph from several angles as she was very busy sucking nectar from Thyme. Her body is 12 mm long. I imagine it's one of the large Mediterranean species or Empis ciliata? Liliane D attached the following image:  [239.09Kb] Edited by Liliane D on 01-04-2024 22:59 |

From some angles, the tufts of hair on the legs are hardly visible. On the front legs, there are only tufts on the tibiae.
