Hi, Now I'd like to introduce my husband to you. He has a small companion on the neck, which behaved so well that we could hardly believe after learning more that it had been a Tabanid. We loved its green eyes! Now I know for sure the name of my husband, but I am not certain about that of the fly - perhaps Chrysops relictus? Location is the Island of Usedom in August. Thanks for help, Sundew |

She DIDN'T suck, however!! She just came for a photo. (Jorge's probable comment: Which beauties do not love to be photographed?) Many thanks for the confirmation of the species! Regards, Sundew |

She's trying to... But distracted by the (handsome?) photographer maybe. It's unusual they stay put, while NOT sucking. Oh, and forget Jorge, he's missing something I suppose... (yes, it's winter, no Tabanids... ) |
