Hi, Today I met a giant Asilid on a dry meadow (btw we have only dry meadows due to the lasting heat wave). The impressive black beast measured 3 cm at least, may be more. As to the "claw" at the fore tibiae I guess Dasypogon, but help is greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [143.06Kb] |
