Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Which Asilidae 2?

Three Asilidae today (17. July 2025) within a couple of minutes - no. three landing on my camera, so no chance to take a picture, but I am sure it was Tolmerus sp., as I often see them in our garden. The other two seem to be new to me, both seen on the same Hydrangia within 2min.
So, here is the second one - our garden in Rheinbach near Bonn/Germany, 210m above sea level, huge forest close by. Fly about 12-15mm. Please help - thank you so much, Jörg

She was briefly gone, but came back immediately :-)

Hi Jörg, I think these are males Choerades marginata.
Same as the other thread https://diptera.i..._id=115907
