Hello! Some time ago I posted a tiny (3-4 mm), pink insect with green eyes of which I was even not sure about the order it belonged to. Yesterday I found it again on the same Heracleum plant (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Because of its size the photos are again not very good, but now I'm sure it has to be placed into the Diptera, families Empididae or Hybotidae. Perhaps a small Rhamphomyia species? Thanks for any hint! Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

This is the empid Dryodromia testacea, apparently quite rare in Europe but recorded on flowers before.
