Hi,
this is the second time I have spotted this hoverfly species sitting on the bark of trees.
Is it
Brachypalpoides sp. (because of the all black legs)? Or rather a
Xylota sp.?
Length approx. 10-12mm
Germany, Niedersachsen, Tister Bauernmoor (peat bog), 27th August 2016
(please see reply for a lateral view :) )
Thanks!
Renate
