Hello, I found this fly in a forest near Cologne in June. In the gallery I found several species with such dark red abdomen, which I am not able to distinguish. What is it? Thanks, Michael P.S. Lenght: perhaps a bit more than 1cm. Michael Becker attached the following image:  [22.01Kb] Edited by Michael Becker on 20-08-2008 21:07 |
