From midwest Sweden 2006-07-09 (YYYY-MM-DD). An exceptional long-legged fly parked on my car. Probably a Sarcophagid. Edit: Changed subject (Long-legged Sarcophagid?) Edit: Changed subject (Long-legged Tachinid?) crex attached the following image:  [71.17Kb] Edited by crex on 20-11-2006 20:31 |

I might be completely wrong .. but I think this is a tachind, perhaps Dinera, or something like that.

Probably Dexia - ridge between the antennae and the excavation extends to the poterior margin of T1+2.  |

but then again, Tony might be wrong. It's a male of Dinera ferina, unmistakable by the very long legs. Females are less extreme. Theo Zeegers |

Great! Once again thank you very much Theo! I wonder what those long legs are good for ... It looks like Bambi on ice. |

No, no, Theo - it's always safer to suggest I might be wrong!
