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?    Thanks millions, Sarah |

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

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,  Sarah |

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

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 |
