Re: Huntsman with hoverfly

Great picture of the fly.  The problem with Identification of flies is that there are 500,000 species that have been described and named so far.  It is believed that there could be that many more not eat found.

There are three types of antenna that flies can have.  Soldier flies and wasp mimic flies can have the antenna that yours has.  I don't know nearly enough to tell the difference.

I have never seen the one in this picture.  It is rather pretty.
