Another quite elusive family. I saw only two Conopids in 2006 in Hungary. Is this extremely pretty Conopid Leopoldius diadematus? Xespok attached the following image:  [59.46Kb] Edited by Xespok on 05-12-2006 21:02 Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

Well, if you saw only 2 Conopids, this is one and the Physocephala is the other one, congratulations ! Theo |

I have not been to the mountains this summer, where I would surely have seen more Conopids (and Bombyliids). In the plains this family seems to be elusive. I think this species is very rare in Hungary, I found it in a rather special, highly protected sand dune habitat. And only one individual. Can you confirm that this is L. diadematus?
