Hi,

I can confirm that! In all the last years the Tabanidae season with people biting species began in mid June (sometimes already in the second June week) with
Haematopota (pluvialis). But the last few days photographing at the forestborder was quite awkward because of very obtrusive
Chrysops females :o
We never had many
Chrysops here. I can only remember of half a dozen sightings in more than 15 years. Seems as if that changes rapidly (because of global warming?).
