Pic taken on 13.07.2007.
Is it possible to ID it and give some explanation about this egg ? Is it a parasite ? Or is she laying but I doubt...
Thanks in advance :)

It's an asilid - with a red parasitic mite attached ... not an egg ;)

A mite travelling by phoresy !? Didn't know about it... I well knew the phoresy with pseudoscorpions but not with mites : thanks for the information :)
Thanks to both of you, Chris and Jorge :)
