 Good evening,

today I was able to photograph this Tabanus near the Ruhr river. Does anyone know this species ?

Kind regards, Volkmar

Data: Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, D-59823 Arnsberg, 200 m, 6.6.2025.

 Looks like Tabanus bovinus, the pale giant horse-fly (slightly green eyes).
Best regards,
Volkmar
