As I don't allow any mistakes on my website (which is wishful thinking, I know), I would like to ask you whther this is S. calcitrans. Sizewise just a tiny bit smaller than a house fly. Dreadful needle shaped snout.
Picture taken today in Eastern Holland (forests, gardens and meadows on dry sandy soil). Thank you very much in advance!

Yes, this is Stomoxys calcitrans. Looks like a female. (Male eyes are slightly closer together and abdomen is a different shape.)

Thanks a lot indeed! New species for my site and first positive id for the garden.

Cheers,

Hans

I hope not to find it in my garden, it makes unpleasant wounds with human and the animals by sucking blood!
