 This beautiful fly is about 10mm long and was found today 150 km south of Lisbon, near the sea. According to the false margin in the wing venation I would say it is a syrphidic, but the colour of the wings and the back legs are so strange that I'm realy not sure.

Thank you,

Joaquim Gaspar

 This fly is extremely variable, so it is NOT a surprise to have black abdomen. Wink It is really Trichopoda pennipes. I would like to know if you caught the specimen...
I spotted this fly once time.Sad
