Very nice fly - I agree it should be something exciting but I would need a specimen to ID it :)

I was fearing this might happen :( But no chance. The area is protected, there are guards everywhere and anyone with a net would be in serious trouble.

My only hope is someone here is able to recognize just by a picture ;) I would be happy to know just the genus. It was a cutie :)

Nemorilla....

New: H. P. Tschorsnig told me that this is a male of Nemorilla maculosa.
