Hi all, This fly was in my garden on Camellia basking and grooming in the afternoon sun. I have no idea what it is, but found one which looked similar, Xylophagidae, Arthropeas sp. Any clues? Thanks! Location: Lincoln UK Date: 10th September 2007. blowave attached the following image:  [67.59Kb] |

Not a very good pic but it shows it's enormous tongue!
