Hi, I photographed these mating asilidae in Vienna, Austria on June 16, 2024. I can only guess the size, but they were relatively small compared to other asilidae I am familiar with. I suppose the genus is Tolmerus, but is it possible to determine the species from that photo?
Best regards,
Eckhart

I can't see enough, but it seems to be a Dysmachus species
