Hi,
To continue the Digger wasp & fly story of thread
http://www.dipter...d_id=23319, there was also a male of
Metopia (
argyrocephala group) present. It looked a bit darker than the male of my former thread
http://www.dipter...d_id=14087 that had not been identified to species. Perhaps this one might be luckier?
Thanks, Sundew

I think you can just see the curly hairs on tarsus 1, though out of focus, which would imply M. rondaniana

M. rondaniana is now called M. staegerii Rondani (being rondaniana a junior synonym of M. staegerii Rondani) according to Pape.
However, I am not convinced about the visability of the curly hairs.
