Hi everyone,
Here is a
Chrysops I find a bit strange: legs are black and it key out on
C caecutiens, but I find the abdomen patern closer to those of my
C relictus. Have you ever seen specimen like this?
Specimen is from Sweden (Stockholm, 09/08/2019) a marecagous area.

Well spotted and don’t use Central European keys in Stockholm !
Ch. divaricatus.
COmmon in Estonia, so I expect it to be not rare around Stockholm.
