Wow this looks really like an alien... As far as i recognize it, this looks like a not yet "finished" insect. More like a nymph or an insect that just has transformed from nymph into a fly or something.
Interesting image!

Alien ?

Maybe it's an Alien, you better call 112...!
This insect looks very different from the one's I have seen in my garden.
I have ask a Dutch specialist in bugs, as soon as I know the name I come back to you...

Fons, Thanks for the information. I have taken some pictures from the same insect (I think so!) and I felt curiosity for the scientific name. In my Internet research I reach the same family, but I had doubt about the complete name. Best regards, Ricardo
