Hello,

the last R. scolopaceus (a male) I had seen at the end of May. Now in July there were flying the typical summer species like R, strigosus and tringarius (see pics 2 and 3). Is the fly on the first picture really a female of R. scolopaceus? It had the correct size (bigger than R. strigosus). Location: northwest Germany.

Thank you!

Interesting! I already wondered, why I did not find it at a typical place. R. strigosus males nearly always rest vertically on tree trunks in the forest or in our garden. This one I found at a hedge in the lower vegetation.
Best regards,
Jürgen

I used Google Maps to get these coordinates: 52.111684,8.304784

How far from the dutch border ?

About 110-120 km.

I will do it.

Thanks to you and Libor!
