I thought I was photographing an Asilidae, but it turned out to be a Tabanidae. Oh well!  Wing pattern looks Haematopota to me, but the eyes puzzles me. Can anyone give this one some kind of name?Size: ~10mm Date: 17 June 2009 Location: On grass by the side of a country dirt road (Helsingborg, Sweden) Thanks! lagura attached the following image:  [164.75Kb] Edited by lagura on 17-07-2009 21:12  |

I can add it is a male. Theo will post something in sense it is very difficult to ID Haematopota male from this single picture :-) Libor |

IF Libor does, I don't have to repeat it. H. pluvialis or subcylindrica Theo |

Thank you all very much. Yes, I am aware that these guys are very difficult to ID from photos. |
