Berlin - July 2017 Hello everyone, I found this sitting in the sandy pathway at heathland area. The photo was made with a 500mm telephoto lens not macro. I have tried to find a genus and nothing looks similar. I stumbled across Philonicus albiceps searching through the German Asilidae list and i think that it looks similar. So is anyone able to confirm Philonicus albiceps? or suggest a better match? many photos but all from the same angle. Best wishes, John johnes81 attached the following image:  [127.5Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 27-08-2019 19:08 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Thank you very much, Markus  I am happy to have a name for this species. I remember tht it followed me down the path/weg for a few minutes. A very interesting and friendly species. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
