Thank you very much, Gerard! ... the seven spotted ladybird of Stratiomyidae - Seems to be a candidate for my delete key ;-) Or isn?t it necessary to avoid Chloromyia photos because there are similar rare species? Best regards Frank |

Common from your point of view perhaps. For me this species is 'southern exotica'; In Finland it is found only on few islands in the southwestern archipelago

I'd agree that these are all C. formosa, but watch out for Chloromyia speciosa - in this less common species the middle and hind basitarsi are contrastingly pale - see http://www.dipter...post_12670
