Dear Memebers,

Here two pictures of Emphidae. I am quite sure the first one is Empis tesselata, but I am not certain about fly #2. Could it be Empis opaca?

Thanks for answers in advance,

Cheers,

Hans

I think you are right on both counts. :)

Just one little remark: it's Empidae (so without the 'h' ) :)

No, it's not Empidae, it's Empididae :)
