Rhagionidae to identify please...
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Quebec, Canada
July 9, 2007
Hello,

Here is a strange fly photographied within my thuya hedge last July in Sherbrooke, Quebec (near Vermont).


I think is is a fly from the Rhagionidae family... Maybe Rhagio sp...

Any idea about its species???

Thank you very much for your always appreciated help!

Michel

No ideas.
No ideas as to species, but moving image to family where an expert may find it, eventually:-)

Hello Eric, Finally the fu
Hello Eric,

Finally the further I can go is that it is a fly from the Rhagionidae family, genus Rhagio...

It is then a Rhagio sp.

Thank you for your help!

Michel
