I think this is a Nematocera, it was found in a lighttrap outside Stockholm Sweden in September 2025. It has a very distinct yellow and black pattern with black wings, approximately 7-9 mm long.
Is it possible to say what genus it is? -or even species?

Not sure why this post ended up in "Asilidae Forum" - and how it can be moved to the right place for Nematocera. Hopefully someone can help to sort it out

Many thank's Tony.
It looks like that species, but I will check if I can find a key to be absolutely sure
