Wasp mimicking fly, Conopid fly

Great shot , this is indeed a excellent wasp mimic .I took a photo of what appears to be the same species,or closely related in Chiang Dao and was given the ID as -Ceriana sp , a Hoverfly ,Syrphidae .I also thought it was a Conops-fly until I was given the heads up.

Wow! Wonderful mimic! Excellent photo!

Wow!! This is incredible!!! Mimicry at it's best!!!

Unbelievable!

Great shot!

I cannot believe that this is not a wasp!

Wonderful mimicry and pictures!

Amazing series!!!!

yes, this is a Conopid fly. By the way, please consider to include this spot in Mimetic Animals mission

I agree with the Conopidae family fly. I would add probably genus Physocephala but you have to search whiche species are present in your region. Very nice series.

Gorgeous series! This looks like a wasp mimicking fly

Hi Toshimi, this is an amazing series! This beautiful insect is actually a species of Fly that mimics wasps (very effectively). This is very likely from Family Conopidae, we call them Thick-headed Flies here in North America. I am not at all familiar with the insects in your area so I don't think I can help you much more than that. I just love the coloration of this fly!
