Dear all, during my summer vacation in the north of Croatia last year, I found this fly in the house. I think it is Hermetia illucens, can you confirm that? Thanks in advance!
Best, Adrian

Yes, it is. A cosmopolitan species. I often seem them near the river in my neighborhood. Here is the one I photographed in east China.
