This beautiful fly is about 10mm long and was found today 150 km south of Lisbon, near the sea. According to the false margin in the wing venation I would say it is a syrphidic, but the colour of the wings and the back legs are so strange that I'm realy not sure. Thank you, Joaquim Gaspar Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [152.76Kb] |

Tachinidae. Check out the "feathers" on the hind legs! |

But Trichopoda pennipes is supposed to have orange abdomen, not black |

This fly is extremely variable, so it is NOT a surprise to have black abdomen.  It is really Trichopoda pennipes. I would like to know if you caught the specimen... I spotted this fly once time.  |

Porto Covo is very nice. I found there the Latrodectus spider! |
