In 2008 I saw a male Tabanus eggeri and this year I think I have one again. Big Tabanus (ca. 18-20 mm). I think it is T. eggeri because of the special form of the first posterior cell in the wings. At least I hope I understood it correct.  But it was very orange when it showed its abdomen, so I am not at all sure! 31-07-2010, La Fontouret, Saint-Gilles, Indre, France.

It showed its abdomen when it was cleaning its wings.

Yes it is T. eggeri. They are very orange like that, and the first posterior cell is closed, so it must be eggeri. I get them here too (I'm in 37, so 'next door' to you).

Thank you very much Susan! Nice to have an 'expert' on diptera next door. Anyway, it was a beautiful creature, this T. eggeri. The orange on the back was quite striking. Tjitske Lubach |

Not an expert, but I know a few species. T. eggeri is beautiful and my favourite Tabanus.
