Sorry for coming up with this horsefly again and again. Today I had this one in our garden (20.07.2025; Rheinbach near Bonn/Germany, 210m above sea level, huge forest near by) and tried to determine it according to the wonderful Zeegers/Schulten book. But I fail :-( I see some resemblance with H. bigoti, but this is suposed to be rare. Help please. Thank you so much, Jörg
