Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Brazilian Asilidae #6 - ID Help - Eraxasilus sp. ?

This fly, which I believe to be a Exarasilus female, was photographed very close and minutes after that I registered the male shown in picture #5, while she was eating this small wasp.

I would like to get confirmation that she is actually a Exarasilus sp. as I suppose.

Yes, Eraxasilus sp.; the femora are very spiny ventrally, especially the anterior four.

Note: I will be away from my computer for the next month...

Cheers, Eric

Just one question, Eric: when you said "next month", means november, or next 30 days?
I am asking because I have a lot of pictures of Asilidae to show, and you are giving me a great help with IDs.
Thank you, Eric!
