Are they rare? Here in Israel I found lots of them flying around. B)

Thanks Komarik,
Do you know how it's possible to verify sp. level?

I'm not an expert here, but to me it looks more like the related genus Oplodonta.

Well, I have similar specimens caught in Greece in 2005, and they were identified by Ben Brugge from the Amsterdam Museum as indeed Odontomyia flavissima.
Whether there are more similar looking species I don't know.
