Hello!

Unfortunately this big (15 mm) yellow and black Stratiomys flew off and away before I could take another shot Sad. 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 Cool another - smaller - Stratiomyid, I have found for the first time here yesterday: Oplodonta viridula.

(All pics taken on August-01 in Ostwestfalen/Germany).

Strange: The software says "Attachment file type not allowed". No special characters or spaces in filename, size 33 KB, simple JPEG format (tried extensions .jpg and .JPG)...

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.

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!
Best regards,
Jürgen

Peculiar, but that worked. Thanks!

I hope it will also with this second pic. Cool

If it was bright yellow, it's not singularior, you are right.
SO potamida is most likely.

The second one is (H)Oplodonta viridula.
