Two tabanid faces

#1 Post by dtsh » Fri Jun 26, 2020 2:37 pm

I've been studying tabanids as of late and thought I'd share a couple of pictures; specimens are two different species. Pretty sure they are females, but I'm new enough to them to not be certain.
Collected from the tabanid traps I built and placed on our farm to reduce their number.

Edit: Magnification was around 30x-40x
