Hi,
Some weeks ago I met this Asilid on the edge of a deciduous forest in southern Brandenburg. It recalls Choerades fimbriata; experts' opinion is however appreciated!
Regards, Sundew

Can Choerades fulva be ruled out? Could try this key in German by Fritz Geller-Grimm http://www.geller-grimm.de/choerad.htm The greyish tomentum on the anepisternum bothers me bit (should be yellowish in both fimbriata and fulva).

But hairs are fully yellow, no grey.

I use the key http://www.robber...rades.html, where we see greyish tomentum but yellow hairs on the anepisternum of Ch. fimbriata. And the facial hairs are so golden, not pale yellow. Moreover, Ch. fulva is said to be a questionable species...
