hello Asilidae-forum,

On a very warm afternoon I wathced this little elongated robberfly into a flowerfield.
The wings are short and got a gold gloss on the edges. B)
The legs got also a golden glimpse.
Femurs are redish with black behind.

I am wondering what kind of robberfly this will be?
Maiby someone can tell me?

greeting, Robert

Hello Robert,

this is a female of Leptogaster sp., perhaps L. cylindrica.

Hi Gisela,

I think you are right about this Leptogaster sp., this is L. cylindrica!

Thank you for your reaction :)
