Love this! Can you add some detail in the description and habitat where it was found?
thank you, outsidegirl. yes, Tina, the abdomen is dark blue and translucent.
Very nice, is one of the body parts transparent?
Thanks dotun and Rieko. I managed to photograph him with wings open to see the abdomen. The abdomen it is legal. It is unusual for Soldier fly from getting too with outspread wings.
