Hi all!
Just to show for those who might be interested: This
Tabanus sudeticus had no better idea than laying its eggs at my balcony ceiling. I can't imagine, how the larvae could ever reach a suitable habitat for development from there, so I guess, it was kind of emergency laying.
Total time for ovipositing about 90 minutes.
The clutch is first fresh (1 minute after finishing), on the other pic about 100 hours old.
