From just north of Stockholm, Sweden today. ID? TIA! It's a female. I know because she tried to bite me and got a smack on the head. Sorry it's a bit dirty ... Edit: Changed subject (Unknown Tabanidae) crex attached the following image:  [67.82Kb] Edited by crex on 06-08-2006 23:06 |

T. bromius would be my guess as well, though not 100 % sure (it just could be maculicornis) bromius is very variable, that explains the differences with the other picture. Theo Zeegers |
