As I often find on my visits to Bulgaria horseflies form a conspicuous component of the Dipterans encountered and this was again the case on my most recent tour when I photographed three different Tabanus collections, I think three different species. I have the specimens of all of these but here is the first as photographed on 5 Aug 2012 found beside ta fishpond near Bansko. I would be grateful if anyone is able to suggest an identification for the species. Many thanks Alan Alan Outen attached the following image:  [62.95Kb] Edited by Alan Outen on 08-09-2012 20:32 |
