Here I am again with another Diptera, this time not photographed by me, but by a friend who doesn't speak English, so I'm acting as go-between. Can anyone help at least put it in a family?

Hello Sarah,
This is a bee fly in the family Bombyliidae.
If I'm not mistaken this is a fly in the genus Villa.

Thanks Gerard. I'll take a look in the checklists and see which members of the family are found locally. If I come to any conclusions, I'll let you know, Wink Sarah

Those small Buprestidae beetles near the fly are also nice creatures Smile

Yes they are, although it's not easy to be certain from the photo, they look like Anthaxia to me. These umbelliferae flowers are always full of life, a great "hunting ground" for photos, Sarah
