I will try. Smile Mud is the solution. Smile)


Today, here, temperatures arose above 40 ?C (temperatures in Portugal will be, in general, above 40?C until next Wednesday! It seems we are in Sahara desert... these temperatures aren't usual.)!
I saw asilidae, anthomyiidae, syrphidae, tachinidae flies everywhere. Wasps and bees... a lot of them... specially, beautiful Ammophila sp. I saw Hogna radiata, Oxyopes sp.; (spider species) and some thomisids, and other lycosids.

I think the larger fly is Lispe (Muscidae).
I think the smaller fly is lunch! Smile
