Hello! Unfortunately this big (15 mm) yellow and black Stratiomys flew off and away before I could take another shot  . I suppose it is not possible to say whether it is S. potamida (I have watched two ore three times before here) or S. chamaeleon (?).On the next two postings just for fun  another - smaller - Stratiomyid, I have found for the first time here yesterday: Oplodonta viridula. (All pics taken on August-01 in Ostwestfalen/Germany).

In that case, open the file, save it again and try again. Dunno why, but it often helps.

I can't exclude singularior based on this picture. chamaelon is very rare in Germany, I guess, and potamida quite common in some regions. So chamaelon would be my last guess. Theo |

Hello, Theo! Zeegers wrote: I can't exclude singularior based on this picture. On the pictures in the gallery and other sources I find S. singularior not so yellow. It is not very well visible on the photo, but this one was really bright yellow and black. So I assume it's potamida. Thanks!

If it was bright yellow, it's not singularior, you are right. SO potamida is most likely. The second one is (H)Oplodonta viridula. Theo |
