A friend of mine photographed this fly at the Houwhoek Pass in mountain fynbos territory. On Google Earth, that is roughly at -34.21, 19.17. Another friend suggested Bombyliidae Usia sp. or close, but we are left in doubt, so could anyone please help? jonrichfield attached the following image: [223.3Kb] Edited by jonrichfield on 28-11-2016 09:15 Scientists often display a human failing: whenever they get hold of some new bit of truth, they decide it is the whole truth.
