Hi everyone!

Just to show for those who might be interested: I witnessed this yesterday early afternoon, first seeing the fly slowly flying around, obviously looking for something. Laying time from first to last egg: 22 minutes.

21.6.2025, Germany, Upper Bavaria, Chiemgau Alps, about 1100 m a.s.l., coordinates 47.77051,12.56184
