We can't see enough of the abdomen, but the whitish wings are no feature. This looks like E crassipennis. leucoptera does not occur in Germany. Theo |

@Zeegers: Thanx..-)) Mmmmh?...I think this fly was doubly large as the fly I photographed today. http://www.dipter...ad_id=8322 Why are the wings of e.crassipennis sometimes milky and why sometimes transparent?  ( my flies and the species of the gallery )Thanx a lot.... best regards Markus |

Sure, Size does not matter in parasitoids. SOme species of Bombyliidae may vary from 4 to 16 (!!) mm. in size. IN this case, we are dealing with a 'macho' male vs. a small male or female. Common in Ectophasia and many Phasia Theo |
