Tabanidae, Hybomitra bimaculata var. collini ♀
eklans
Hi, yesterday I've met a female Hybomitra but she only allowed some dorsal photos and I'm not sure, if it's possible to determine based on the poor images with the excellent "Velgids Dazen". The closest I could find is H. muehlfeldi (but there's no fen nearby), followed by solstitialis (ciureai). What's your opinion?
In my garden: Ansbach, DE-Franconia, Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, 2021-07-10.

Thank you and best regards

Some details showing the black & yellow hairs on the abdomen and the antenna.

Well, they can fly of course, looking for blood.

But it seems to me the notopleural lobe is pretty dark, hence bimaculata ?

Yes, normally I would like it to be confirmed based on subgenital plate, very different between species mentioned.
