Stylogaster sp. - Stylogaster neglecta - Male Female
London, Ontario, Canada
July 28, 2004
An Entomologist in Ottawa says these are conopids, either Stylogaster biannulata or S. neglecta - anyone know which? Apparently, they're parasitoids of crickets. Please excuse the pornography: I envision this photo on a billboard above the caption "It takes 4 hands to handle a whopper."

I'm impressed!
Hey, I'm just amazed you got the thing into a FAMILY! I caught a couple specimens in Ohio and it took me forever to figure out what I had:-) Really nice shot. The female (bottom), has this incredibly long ovipositor, normally bent downward at ninety degrees.

Yes, a memorable picture though I can't help with the ID! They are certainly something I haven't seen before.
