Thank you very much Reinoud Smile
Oh, oh, it's very difficult to find the right ID (in spite of your fine book) but I'll try further on.

:-( I have to learn from it. So, if you used the key, you chose for 2b. femora black, tibiae red. I can understand although femur 1 has a large red part which should have lead you to 2c...... :-) I will have to think about improving......

Hi Reinoud,
don't worry - as I have not yet the real eye to Asilidae - I have to train more. So it's very nice that you identify the robberflies in diptera.info.
Greetings Kuv
