Yes, all of them Chloromyia formosa. male and female are of a different color! Very common species.

Thank you very much, Gerard! ... the seven spotted ladybird of Stratiomyidae - Seems to be a candidate for my delete key ;-) Or isn?t it necessary to avoid Chloromyia photos because there are similar rare species? Best regards Frank

Common from your point of view perhaps. For me this species is 'southern exotica'; In Finland it is found only on few islands in the southwestern archipelago :)

I'd agree that these are all
C. formosa, but watch out for
Chloromyia speciosa - in this less common species the middle and hind basitarsi are contrastingly pale - see
