 Hi,
Now I'd like to introduce my husband to you. He has a small companion on the neck, which behaved so well that we could hardly believe after learning more that it had been a Tabanid. We loved its green eyes! Now I know for sure the name of my husband, but I am not certain about that of the fly - perhaps Chrysops relictus? Location is the Island of Usedom in August.
Thanks for help, Sundew

 She DIDN'T suck, however!! She just came for a photo. (Jorge's probable comment: Which beauties do not love to be photographed?)
Many thanks for the confirmation of the species!
Regards, Sundew

 She's trying to... But distracted by the (handsome?) photographer maybe. It's unusual they stay put, while NOT sucking.
Oh, and forget Jorge, he's missing something I suppose... (yes, it's winter, no Tabanids... Pfft )

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
