This is a Chrysops sp. I do not have literature for males, so do not know which species this one would be. Other views are available on my web site. Xespok attached the following image:  [86.8Kb] Edited by Xespok on 23-11-2006 14:25 |

Well, I would have liked to see more of it (legs), but my guess is a male Ch. caecutiens. If it's from Hungary and if it's not from a peatbog, it must be caecutiens. Theo |

Not too many peatbogs around here, so most likely Ch. caecutiens. Also this species is the most common Chrysops in Hungary. I observed this fly relatively early, sometimes in late April or early May. Theo, thx for your help in this and other threads. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |
