Yesterday. La Pe?a, Huesca, NE Spain. 500 meters high. Mix of mediterranean and mountain climate. Habitat: floating in the water, but looks like more fallen in it than swimming and living in it. Size: about 30 mm.

Horseflies of Chrysops caecutiens species are very common in the zone. Could be its larvae?
