This fly was found very near Atlantic ocean... it was just about 100 m from the sea in primary dune. ;)

Around it has very typical flora: Sedum sediforme; Acacia longifolia; Briza maxima (many!); Artemisia campestris; Corema album; Otanthus maritimus; Calystegia soldanella; Eryngium maritimum; etc
