Insect or Invertebrates Identification - DONE

[ExFmem]

Also, I had posted earlier a bark antlion to be added as you see fit.... What's the verdict on that one, do I need to go back to the drawing board?

I am still thinking, ExFmem

Oh, I see. There's some doubt as to whether or not it's even a bark antlion. In that case it certainly is best to NOT post it and just leave it here for further info. to come along. Thanks, Toko, I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.

I'm going to post my jumping spiders as "Jumping Spider Salticidae sp." as was suggested. Which is the preferred route to follow? :

1. Post here and have you add them to BluTuna's post, even tho' they are different ones (I have approx. 6 diff. ones).
2. Make a new post and put all 6 in that one entry (all were taken in Kruger)
3. Make a new post for each diff. spider

Thanks!

Make a post each species as per no 3

Hi all

please have a look

Are these two the same or not?

Bark Antlion to be added please:


Oct. 2013 Kgalagadi

I assume this to be a Syngenes sp. due to wings with pointed tips as opposed to rounded ones as in Centroclisis, as well as the banding on the legs and abdomen.

However you wish to add it is fine by me, Toko. Thanks!

Bark Antlion
Family: Myrmeleontidae

There are two genera of "Bark Antlion":
Centroclisis Bark antlions have a wingspan of 84 mm, stout-bodied, grey, hairy, with broad and short wings.
Syngenes Bark antlions are larger (wingspan 102 mm), hairy and less stout than Centroclisis and have more pointy wingtips. The larvae of Syngenes do not construct pits.

Which robber fly is this please? Doesn't appear to be any of those already in the database. Also can't match to any in Picker, Griffiths, Weaving book or the Picassa album of Joans, etc. Thanks

There is almost nothing for reference for diptera, I think, we just post it as Asilidae

Cool photo


One of these
