Dear visitors,

Yesterday 30.4.07 I saw this quite big ( more than 13 mm)fly sitting on a leaf in the last sunshine in the eastern part of Austria.
But after the first photo shot it disappeared .
It was jetblack and bright red.
I have never seen such a fly before.
Can You please help me to identify.
Thank You

Margarita Auer
