Hi all,
This fly was in my garden on Camellia basking and grooming in the afternoon sun. I have no idea what it is, but found one which looked similar,
Xylophagidae, Arthropeas sp.
Any clues? Thanks!
Location: Lincoln UK
Date: 10th September 2007.

Not a very good pic but it shows it's enormous tongue!
