This photo was taken on 25th June 2006 in Montesinho - Portugal. (extreme Nordeast of Portugal) with nikon coolpix 3100. This tipulidae fly mimics a wasp.  To see it larger go to: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=174925402&context=pool-70369247@N00&size=l |

Fauna Europaea http://www.faunaeur.org/species_list.php Lists five species two with subspecies other than the also present nominate for Portugal. I think we may be sure there are more. |

Robert Nash wrote: Nephrotoma I think.But which? Robert An interesting QUESTION: Which is the specie of WASP very similar to this tipulidae? Any advances and some photos would be great! Thank you! This Nephrotoma is not so common here... I never seen here in Center of Portugal, just in Nordeast yesterday... but not sure if it is really common or uncommon (in Portugal)... |
