Hi,

the next ones should be more interesting (but are very difficult for me) but let's start with the big ones.

They where all flying around a horse (that had to stay on the sun at midday, because he was attached...). Looking at my picture, the where at least 3 Tabanus species (+this one: 4), at least one Haematopota and Hippobosca equina. All of them quite numerous.
Fascinating for me, but i wouldn't have liked to be this horse!

If someone know: is there a specie there i could mistake with Hippobosca equina?

For this specimen: not that easy, but T sudeticus seems to be the one that fits the best, but i wouldn't bet to much on the!

You are right, sudeticus it is !

Interesting find, since Bulgaria is at the southern limit of its distribution.

North France is a interesting area for Tabanid? I haven't met lot of them yet there...
But if you mean Bulgaria, i was there for Erasmus for 2 month, so i can't collect any more. But i still have few specimen Smile

Of course, I meant Bulgaria

The north of France is interesting for cognac en Paris - Roubaix.
