Dance Fly

Exactly what I thought...

wow this looks like a robber fly who got his head shrunken! Great one!

Now with correct ID...

Thanks again Jolly :)

You are welcome. Nice spotting.

Thank you very much all of you :)

@ Daniele that looks right :)

Must be Daniele... you got it...

I downloaded your picture to enlarge it and I could see there is halteres on your spotting meaning it belongs to Diptera - thew order of flies.

Jeanette I am not sure but have you looked at the Empididae?

Looks pretty much like the order Diptera although I cannot see the halteres common in diptera.

That's fine. The expert would be able to ID it. The shot is clear enough. Am still trying to look for the answers.

Maybe a good idea, unfortunatly I only have this shot :)

Lovely pic!

Maybe you could send it to what's that bug for ID.

Yes I know, that is the problem :)

I was able to access already. But all scorpionflies on the net have long antennae and slender abdomen.

Strange I'll try again http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/119... otherwise it is my ow spotting called Scorpionfly germanica

Jeannette, the link you provided cannot be accessed. It says page doesn't exist.

@ Ashish I don't think that's the right family...
@ Jolly I agree, but it looks pretty much like it see image no. 3 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/... except for the missing antennas

Also very similar flies find in Bibionidae family.

@ arlanda I am not sure, yours is more hairy...
Yeah, mayby that's it a Bignosefly ;-)

Its not a scorpion fly. Look at the abdomen. Its lacking the slender sting.

May be one of Acroceridae family.

@ Ashish, yes the head looks like it, but the abdomen is much to big/fat I think...

Big nose fly? :))

It must be some kind of robber fly or killer fly. Have a look at mine: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/120...
