Asilid ID seems to be always impossible... my threads often continue unresolved along the times... but I can't resist to photograph at least the most spectacular ones...

Today. Peņaflor, Zaragoza, NE Spain, 300 meters, in gypsiferous steppe, very warm day. About 15-20 mm. This one was with open wings in the second after landing, but after it always close wings. A pity, because the abdomen colour and pattern is very nice.

It could be identified?
Thanks

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
