Taken Yesterday on my car windscreen. Body length about 6mm.
Is the antennae normal ?

Thanks Brian V.

Certainly Coenosiine (stance, predatory behaviour, general appearance all fit).
Can we have an enlargement of the head before commenting on the antenna?

A short, white fiber is stuck to the arista. You can see similar threads resting on the thorax and legs.

Thanks Kahis- and ther's me thinking it was suffering from a nasty case of arista trifurcation ;)
