Hi, found on 23-June-2018 Worms, Rhineland, Germany. Near a nature reserve with cows... It rested on a stone - it was so big I was stunned... in my mind approximately 3cm Can it be further identified? Many thanks and regards, Stella Stella M attached the following image:  [148.51Kb] Edited by Stella M on 24-02-2020 21:46 |

They look big, don’t they ? If you’d actually measure its length, head to tail, it is around 18- 19 mm. Male Tabanus autumnalis. T. sudeticus is even 40-50 % larger ! Theo Edited by Zeegers on 25-02-2020 21:11 |

Yeah, I was so astonished when I recognized what was resting on this stone - made it even bigger in my mind then  T. sudeticus must be a sight to see  Many thanks for your help and regards, Stella |
