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

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

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.
