These two are from the 18th July 2013, close to La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Canada. I got three images that are quite similar. Any chance to put an ID on these ? I think they must be from the Laphriinae subfamily, maybe Laphria. 1:  2:  3:  Erland Denmark Edited by Erland on 12-05-2014 16:55 If it's not a dragonfly, it might be a fly |

Regarding the proboscis (not laterally flattenend but dorso ventrally), it would be Andrenosoma

The only Andrenosoma in Canada is A. fulvicaudum (Say). I do not know if this is it. |

This is not A. fulvicaudum but after checking we have to come to the conclusion the species belongs to a closely related genus Pogonosoma (cf ridingsi)
