Great, I will update mine too. :)
Thanks alot, Doryreed - you're right with the St. Mark's Fly. ID updated.
This is the male if I am right. The female has a different shaped head.
I have a picture of one of these guys too I think. I have it down as Saint Mark's Fly (Bibio marci) but I'm not 100%.
Thx, Alland...just a matter of time i'll figure it out ;)
Nice shot! sharp! I don't know either what species this diptera is :) Greetings from Indonesia
