I was lucky enough to spot the mother of all Tabanids, a Therioplectes sp. Only gigas is known form Hungary, but the description of this species in Fauna Hungariae did not entirely convince me that it could not be another species. Especially the furring of the abdomen does not seem to fit perfectly.

A nice addition to my garden list.
