Dear all, Can anybody tell me the name of this fly or is it not a fly? It looked very flat and plastically and unfortunately he was not willing to sit stil. Therefore the picuture is of poor quality. But maybe someone stil can ID it? Thanks. Gr, Shar. shar attached the following image:  [73.64Kb] |

Hello, Definitely a soldier fly (Stratiomyidae). I can't go further, though. |

It is a soldier fly (Stratiomyidae). With this colour I'd go for Odontomyia ornata but my experience with Odontomyia is not very big, so some confirmation is welcome.

It really looks like O. ornata, but this species is very rare in Sweden. It likes warmer climate and you can find it very frequently in Hungary or southern France. Martin Martin Hauser |
