Hello experts, I found this Asilidae speciman (?) not far from the river Rhine. Can the genus be determined from the photo? Observation details: Germany, Worringen close to Cologne/NRW, alluvial forest, 28.05.2012 Thanks in advance, and best regards Joerg JoergSiemers attached the following image:  [182.66Kb] Edited by JoergSiemers on 23-02-2014 18:39 |

Hello JoergSiemers, The Asilidae is a female Dioctria rufipes. If you'd want to identify Asilidae yourself there are two very nice links to know of: The Dutch guide with lots of photo's of living specimens; http://waarneming.nl/download/fotogidsAsilidae.pdf And the German keys by Geller-Grimm; http://www.robberflies.info/keyger/start.html Greetings, Ectemnius |
