Hello Photo taken 14_06_11 I would be grateful if someone could confirm Tabanus sudeticus male or female As I get bitten quite a lot it would be useful to know which biting flies to look out for, this one was on a leaf but with another one nearby I certainly had my eye on it Thank you oceanlis2000 attached the following image:  [91.96Kb] Edited by oceanlis2000 on 28-06-2011 10:10 Dr Elisabeth A.

For me it is impossible to separate Tabanud bovinus and sudeticus without sharp picture of antennae. Libor |

Thanks for the reply, is it possible to go for male or female, which would also be very useful to know!

Female. In Tabanids, eyes widely separated = female, eyes toucing = males. Libor |
