I found this impressive red-eyed fly in wet land in the Netherlands, de Wieden, on 18-7-2008. Is this easy to recognize or are there look-a-likes again? Klaas Klaas attached the following image:  [125.96Kb] |

Sorry, missed the second question. As long as you are in western Europe and the scutellum is dark, you are fine with Oplodonta viridula. Note, however, that some Odontomyia have a remarkably similar abdominal pattern (but scutellum partly yellow). Theo |
