 Hello,

I observed this Asilidae on the 23th of July in Bray-Dunes in the north of France. I think of a Philonicus albiceps, what do you think ?

Cordially Maxime

 Thank you very much, do you have a trick to differentiate it quickly from Dysmachus trigonus ?

 Bigger, longer legs, less hairy than Dysmachus, most importantly the ovipositor is not flattened laterally and has spines at the tip.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
