I will upload more photos... just stay with this one at 5:1 magnification. ;)
I must do stack photos one day! This is only one shot. But doing multi-shots shorts the lifetime of the shutter. :(
NOT Gonia... :S It measures aroun 7 mm - 8 mm. Medium fly.

Sometime ago, someone you know wrote about a fly from Silgueiros:
"It looks 100% gold. One of the most beautiful colours I saw on a fly."

Hi Jorge,
Not
Gonia, but
Frontina laeta. Easy to identify and quite common at the moment here in Finland as well! Typically on umbelliferean flowers. Parasitoid of
Laothoe populi and
Smerinthus ocellatus (Lep:Sphingidae)
