 I think that this 16-18 long fly is a Sphecomyia vespiformis but I can not find any pictures on internet that confirms my suggestion.

Photo from Hållsjön, Ångermanland, Sweden 62.56N 17.47 E 26 june 2009

Thanks for your help in advance

 Indeed, Sphecomyia vespiforme it is! So, now we have this species for the Syrphidae gallery! Grin
Great species, isn't it..
You will find good pics of this species in the Finnish hoverflies book!

 Yes, it was a beauty but only basking in the shadows.

I think it could be between 5-10 observations in Sweden of this more easterly species.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
