Can anyone confirm this is Prosena siberita? The fly was seen in Tornada, Portugal on the last 8th of August. |

They seem to like sitting on pale vertical surfaces. While chatting to a friend on a local nature reserve recently I noticed a Prosena on his leg (old, white corduroy trousers) ... I caught it of course  Then seconds later he got another ... and another ... got some photos too, though we were both very glad there were no people walking by at the time
