Very nice specimen. I was out in a bog earlier this week chasing similar flies. Eyes in life were a beautiful pale green, turned brown within minutes of dying. This is Atylotus sp., guessing A. fulvus but wait for . . . . . (you know who). |

Thank's Tony  Very nice fly indeed. We should have four Atylotus to make a choice and so far I had none. What ever it is, it will be a new one for me Let's just wait (yes, I know who .....)Jari |

I am not Theo :-) But you have no other such golden (or yellow) Atylotus in Scandinavia. So I vote also for A. fulvus :-) Libor |

Yes it is, the thrid antennal segment is very short and broad, implying fulvus indeed. Theo |
