I though this was a Xyloma maculata but then I looked at the gallery and the patterns in the thorax don't match. Is it really a Xylomyidae? Thanks, Joaquim Gaspar Lisboa Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [112.85Kb] Edited by Alvesgaspar on 18-03-2008 18:07 |

You where the quickest, Jorge. Should be genus Empis, but not tessellata with those red legs i think? Edited by viktor j nilsson on 18-03-2008 17:51 |

Well, this one (or maybe its cousin...) had a sad end when meeting a Xysticus spider hiding inside a flower...
