Hello flyforum, today I saw this remarkable fly, it looks 'high tech' to me.. And something tells me this is a little robberfly and is not on the right forum.. (what is wrong with its snout?) But I am not sure about that. I am realy anxious to know what it is  greeting Robert, Robert Heemskerk attached the following image:  [64.69Kb] Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 05-06-2006 21:40 |

No, I think it is Hybotidae. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Indeed, Hybos femoratus.

Thank you Nikita and Paul, My doubts did have sense!, I read that these kind of flies are a part of the Empididae-family. (Almost)all species are also hunters and catch their prey in the air. The mouthpart is also standing to one site (Hybotinae), and this is natural ... greeting Robert, |
