Three weeks ago, I was able to photograph this horsefly. Philipomyia aprica seems very likely. But from what I've read, they're said to be found in the high mountains above 2,000 m above sea level. The more southerly native Philipomyia graeca looks somewhat different in my opinion. Who knows more? Size: approx. 15 mm (+) Date found: July 9, 2025 Habitat found: open, sunny forest (hiking) trail on a ridge, herbaceous layer and shrubs, with forest surroundings Location found: low mountain ridge between Lake Milstätter See and the Drau Valley, approx. 700 m above sea level BeJoCo attached the following image:  [136.54Kb] Best regards Bernd |
