Index of Subjects <html> <body> <font size=3>Thanks, Steve. My fly is certainly Physocephala. I thought it was a Thick-headed fly but appeared to be a Potter Wasp mimic so I looked in the wrong places.<br> Angus<br> At 05:29 PM 6/27/2011, you wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Angus,<br> The smallest pic is a bit too small to see, but probably is not a <br> syrphid -- the antennae don't look right. On a guess, thought <br> probably a species of Conopidae (`thick-headed flies`). Try genus <br> Physocephala as in<br> http://bugguide.net/node/view/7041<br> and also try numbers 112730 and 82191 there. These all look very <br> similar to yours.<br> A peculiarity of Bugguide is that it usually doesn't show all the <br> examples of that species or genus, even if it shows >1 example on the <br> first page, 'Conopidae'. So search next for Physocephala and it may <br> have more examples, though I didn't check that in this case.<br> Nice insect pics, as always.<br> Steve<br><br> <br> Quoting Angus MacLean <angusmcl@ns.sympatico.ca>:<br><br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Here are some photos of Dragonflies, Hover Flies & Skippers <br> (butterflies) that I've encountered recently:<br><br> Beaverpond Baskettail (2 photos - Is it this species??)<br> Dot-tailed Whiteface<br> Beaverpond Clubtail (3 photos)<br> Hover Fly (Sericomyia sp-2 photos)<br> ***Hover Fly (I need help identifying this one too)***<br> Hobomok Skipper<br> Arctic Skipper(2 photos)<br><br> http://www.flickr.com/photos/58321572@N00/5877561111/in/photostream/<br><br> Click on the next thumbnail (on the right) to see each photo in turn.<br><br> Angus</blockquote><br> </font></blockquote></body> </html>
