Hello, this specimen comes from Valencia (Spain), and it was in an Achillea filipendulina inflorescence in a garden close to orange tree fields and mediterranean shrubland, at 5 Km from the sea. Does anybody knows the species? If special characters are needed I have the specimen. Thanks and sorry for the quality of the image.

I think the only Odontomyia-like soldierfly that can have an (almost) entirely green abdomen is Oplodontha viridula...

Thanks a lot Paul!, I was watching later more specimens in the same locality, with the abdomen with the usually typical dot on the upper side of Oplodontha viridula. It seems that is this species. MY COLLECTION IN: http://www.taxateca.com/ordendiptera.html |
