This brave fly kept jumping on my lens. Photo taken on 28 June 2010 on the edge of a wood, on hot and sunny day in the Czech Republic. Thank you. David Sezima attached the following image:  [146.07Kb] |

No, this question has to be answered by the asilid-fanatics.

Genus Choerades, I'd say. I have failed to often in naming species in that genus, so I will not try again.

Choerades cf gilva, very probable. Everything points in that direction but i can not entirely exclude C. ignea.

Many thanks to you all. As a layman I thought that the red abdomen would be a help. I am attaching another photo of the beast. David Sezima attached the following image:  [146.54Kb] |

The scutellar setae seem black that would indicate C. gilva Greetings, Reinoud Field guide to the robber flies of the Netherlands and Belgium: https://www.jeugdbondsuitgeverij.nl/product/field-guide-to-the-robberflies-of-the-netherlands-and-belgium/ https://www.nev.nl/diptera/ |
