I'm stuck - Syrphidae or Asilidae ? - Microdon manitobensis - St. Martins, Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada June 11, 2013 Size: est. 13mm
I'm really stuck on this one. Initially thought Syrphidae but antenna length sent me to Asilidae. Checked all Laphria but can't match. Went back to Syrphidae and thought I'd made a match when I stumbled on Callicera but antennal structure isn't the same. Interesting leg colour, dark wings, face looks like syrphid. Please help!! What am I missing??
