In the beautiful sand hills of New Mexico, where Prairie Chickens were dancing their mating dance, came this interesting fly. Can someone offer me some ID guidance?

Family Therevidae, but I think it will take someone from your side of the Atlantic to put a name on it.

The web isn't the best guide but take a look at Ozodiceromyia nanella Different femora but the genus looks right or at least close. Robert Edited by Robert Nash on 17-05-2006 17:26 |

I'd put my money on Asilidae, there is an inderntation in between the eyes, typical for Asilids and not present in Therevids. John |

This is clearly an asilid fly. Eric Fisher ID it to the genus Laphystia. It is a male. Martin Martin Hauser |
