 Trichopoda on kaki tree (Diospyros kaki)
I found this (belive it's newcomer from USA) Trichopoda fly last autmn. Istria - not so far from Italy - they introduced Trichopoda for pest (Pentatomid bug-Nezara viridula) control.
If i'm right (that it is newcomer from Italy in Slovenia) then it must be T.pennipes but it looks somehow different.

 Looks like T. pennipes (a reference to those fringed hind tibia pennipes means wing-footed) to me and i think it is. Right area too. But you're right it's not quite like some of the other pics we have seen. Take look at Cornell's site for a nice account.

 Thank you, Robert.
Yes I already saw this site. Biological control is a sphere of activity Ir17;m interesting in, mainly for my garden sake. (pic on the site is not quite the same as this one, but I agree that it looks like T. pennipes)Smile

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
