Hi! I'm Daniele from Sardinia. This Asilidae is born from a dead oak (Q.ilex) branch where I was waiting for Latipalpis plana and Trichoferus holosericeum. Is it Pogonosoma maroccanum? Locality: South Sardinia. Thanks! Daniele SardinianBoy attached the following image:  [75.49Kb] |

I have no clue about the fly (Asilidae is very poorly represented here in the north), but I have to say that it is a magnificient beast!

It certainly looks like all the pictures I've seen - what a beauty!

Dear Daniele. Greetings from Fritz. No doubt, this is P. maroccanum, not so rare as P. minor. The species looks like a Solifugae from Morocco, which has the same coloration of hair (unfortunately nocturnal). Yours |
