Hello,

I need help to ID these two Asilids. I saw the black one to catch a bee, then it flew away and returned with another Asilid, could it be of the same specie? I was thinking about Dasypogon sp. / Dasypogon diadema male and female

This is the other one, maybe it's the female.

I'm sorry but I was unable to do better shots!

Thanks for the help!

Regards,
Marcello

They apparently belong to two different species, so perhaps better split the thread.

Thanks Paul, the first one (all black) probably is Dasypogon diadema female, the other could be the male.
I posted the photos together because they was always together (flew side by side, and so on for at least twenty minutes)

Yes, male and female of the same specie is what I think too.

The second image now is more clear.

Thanks Henrik!
