Unknown Empididae, Empis sp from midwest Sweden 2006-07-04. I realize it's a weird photo angle, but perhaps it's still possible to make an ID? TIA!

Edit: Changed subject (Empididae sp)

I think Empis livida, female.

Thank you Nikita.

I have more photos of other individuals of the family Empis (I think). Perhaps they are the same genus ... or perhaps not. I'm not sure whether I should post the pictures in this thread or use a new one for each individual!?

I think Paul would suggest to post new threads for each species. It makes life much simpler! ;)

Well, if I only knew to which species they belong ;)

If you think they are in the same species, post them together. Otherwise create separate threads.

Another Empis livida!? From same place and date. Found dead.

By the way, Crex, on some of your images is visible that veins M do not reach wing margin, which "specialite de la maison" of Empis livida.

Ok, thanks Nikita, I'll keep that in mind even though I'm not sure I can locate vein M in my pictures :).
