No, activity is sorrowly low! SO may be I can be of some help!? I don't think this is D. cothurnata female. Last week I saw a Dioctria which I assume is cothurnata, because the male leg pattern is unique: Cor Zonneveld attached the following image:  [62.49Kb] Edited by Cor Zonneveld on 18-07-2008 21:16 Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

Most flies had orange legs though; I assume them to be conthurnata because of the presence of the single male I was able to photograph. The leg color pattern is quite different from your's. But I'm quite a novice in Asilidae-land, so may be we've to wait for the specialists! Cor Zonneveld attached the following image:  [67.4Kb] Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

Yes, that is correct. I'm turning to hyalipennis instead. I have several and photos of them too and it's very common here. I wish I have my books with me  Thank's for Your attention  Jari |
