Hmm,
Look like a
Neoleria species but a one pair of fronto-orbitals present only !
Maybe a mutant :|:|:| or not a Heleomyzid species at all ???

Thank you (I think) Andrzej
You haven't been accepting odd looking cigarettes from Andrea have you ? :D
:o A MUTANT....:o...Should I head for the hills ???? Phone NATO, or just let the weather sort it out? It is receiving a severe dose of "Shock and Awe" at the moment...:D. Windy with heavy rain as normal..:|.
Regards (From the Bunker) Roger

Hi Roger,
Oops ! My fault ! :o
Finally I saw the second orbital bristle !!!
It is really a
Neoleria species, probably
N.
inscripta but I should check the description ! I have to use stronger glasses B):D
