Welcome cookiemonster71! From wing venation I'ld say, yes Bombyliidae. But I think some photo from above would be very useful if not plain necessary for an ID attempt. Also, it is good practive to indicate the where and when! Nice photo though! Edited by Cor Zonneveld on 15-08-2009 09:00 Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

OK, 'near Aken' probably rules out a lot! I'm thinking about Villa spec., but wait for David Gibbs, he's the expert on Bombylids! Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

On waarneming.nl they said also villa sp. but gave me the advice to post on diptera  So therefore I made the effort to do so. Now I'll wait with patience |

looks like Villa but not identfiable to species without specimen (true for most Villa) |
