Hi all, Yesterday I saw this robberfly in the Netherlands. Can it be identified? Size: medium sized, about 10 - 12 mm I guess. Landscape: dry heath with open sandy spaces. Thanks, Cor Cor Zonneveld attached the following image:  [147.76Kb] Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

Thanks! Having gotten the name, I can see the description fits well.... Is this the female, then? (I'm new in flies, so totally unexperienced) Cor Zonneveld attached the following image:  [144.29Kb] Edited by Cor Zonneveld on 26-04-2007 21:50 Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |
