This week several different Tabanidae were trapped in our conservatory. The weather was ...hot.
Yesterday we found a shokking big Tabanus sudeticus
http://forum.waarneming.nl/smf/index.php?topic=83550.0

and today a hybomitra was lucky we found it before dehydration.
Does anyone know a second name for this?

TAbanus sudeticus is correct, this time, for a change.
Excellent !
Could you please post the locality and date (or PM) ?

The Hybomitra cannot be IDed from this pic, alas.

Thanks


Theo

my backyard,
3 juli, Sint Odiliënberg Limburg, NL

I saved the fly in the freezer because I don't have methyl alc. I get some tomorrow. * Please let me know if I can do someone a favor with this pretty "nightmare" :o

* I never preserved an insect before, if I do something wrong would you please let me know?

Dank je Theo
