Hello friends,
last week I have filmed an insect, I strongly think it is a member of diptera,
but I cannot think at all of which family it belongs.
Even to find out the family would be enough for me.

Here is the link to my youtube video:

And here are some screenshots of my video clips. (there are more).
I have found the insect in the south of germany, last Saturday (25th may 2013)
while cutting grass under some Appletrees. It has been sitting on the top of a grass.
Not very mobile, since the last month has been very cold and rainy and this day was cold too,
about 9° Celsius. The insect has a body length of about 1 cm.

Can you help me?


Thanks a lot for you efforts!

Steve

Thanks Paul,
but do you have also a clue,
in which family this "white-bearded" fly is belonging?

---

Conopidae: Myopa

---

OH YES, that the one.
Thanks a lot.
Do you want me to post the picture on the Gallery.
But I do not know the species name so far,
and there are a lot of other pictures there.
Whats your advice?

Greetings
Thanks
Stefan

Let's see if someone comes up with the species name first.

Its not that visible, but I believe the crossvein at the base of cell r is surrounded by a white spot. That would make this Myopa buccata.
