Hello, can anyone help me to identify this fly. I found it on June, 27. in Switzerland. The location was a meadow near a forest. Thank you. Regards, Urs Segin attached the following image:  [94.74Kb] |

Hello, thanks a lot for your answer. Is it possible to say which species? Could it be a chloromyia formosa, or are there several possibilities? Regards Urs |

Yes, it is a female Ch. formosa. You might have Ch. speciosa in Switzerland, but probably only in the southern valleys of Wallis and Tessin.... It has the metatars of middle- and hind leg contrasting yellow coloured. Theo |
