A small male empididae, with an amazingly long proboscis. It's feeding on geranium flowers in a wood clearing. Seneffe (Belgium), June 2 2010 ID anyone ?

Dark Empis male on Geranium - might be E. pennipes, they love cranesbills! Cp. http://www.dipter...ost_134805.

Thanks all! There weren't any females around, so I did not get the clue for pennipes in the first place. Cheers Philippe A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. www.entomopix.eu |
