Yesterday at Sabi?anigo, Aragon, Spain.

I'm very happy because is the first time that I see a Stratiomys. It was very big and beautiful fly, but it flied around the flowers and don't stop much time, and I only can make one photo. In this photo I focused the Thymus flowers and not in the Stratiomys.

But I hope that can be identified.

20-23 mm long. Shrubs (Genista scorpius, Thymus vulgaris, etc) and rocks, in Pre-Pyrenees.

The thorax full of polen makes more difficult the determination.

Hi Isidro
I had a long look at this one, but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. It doesn't really fit any of the Stratiomys I know exactly, and the antennae look rather blunt -tipped, like Alliocera graeca, but that is way out of range. Another photo, or a specimen, please. Wink

No more photos... I tried it but the fly can fly!!! And I stayed sad because the only photo that I obtained was very bad.

I can't imagina that could be another genus, but I don't know any on Diptera, so, now I'm not sure of nothing... the fly is very big, I said, 2 cm... as a Tachina grossa....
