size: nearly 40mm long
date: 24 June 2007
location: Fodele, Crete, Greece
habitat: house garden (with pond), surrounded by olive groves and brushland

It's most notable features were its red legs and red genitalia.
I had also the impression that its head was small in proportion to the rest of its body...
Sorry, but I didn't manage to get a shot of the wings.

It seems to be a species of Engelepogon. Please add your images to Wikipedia: http://commons.wi...y:Asilidae

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
